Whipped Short Bread: V-Day Edition

I've never really celebrated Valentines Day because I don't see the point. I do, however, like the adorable packaging. It's all cute with pink and hearts! Sometime at the beginning of January I went to the dollarstore to stock up on cute goodie bags. Last year I bought a whole bunch and used them all year round to give out baked goods. This got me thinking....
Mike complained this year that whipped shortbread are the best cookies but people only make them for Christmas. I thought this would make a good Valentines gift but of course I would have to make them pink!
More importantly it was a good inauguration for my kitchenaid mixer!
When I first started whipping them the colour was a pretty pastel pink.

They looked so cloud-like, I was excited to see how they would turn out! Unfortunately after baking, they turned the colour of homemade play-doh. Rats. It's a good thing they taste better than play-doh. I decorated them with cinnamon hearts (how could I not!) and crasins.

It looks like I made the crasins heart-shaped. I did not. They are just a blob, cleverly photographed.

Mike also got me a Valentines Day Present! It's pink and silky and make especially for the bedroom (or sometimes the couch).

Bliss. Unconscious bliss.

That's right! A new Sealy pillow! Yay!
