I want to make my valentines day cookies now! I get nervous when working with deadlines sometimes. Plus I feel like making cookies and just don't want to wait. Anyone else feeling the Pre-valentines rush? LOL

I know what you mean, I've been thinking of making a small batch just to play with.

jep...i just made a batch of nfsc...got it in the refrigerator. I don't know why...I don't decorate 'em...I just eat 'em before I get anything on 'em. But they're there 'cause I would really like to decorate them though.

Oh my goodness! You were truly reading my mind when you posted this topic! I got my cookie dough made up and am going to start doing the cutouts today because I don't want to wait another day! LOL..... I'll store them in airtight bags and then decorate them right before V-Day.

So, like you I too am feeling really antsy over getting them done and want to make them start to finish right now!!!

Heh heh, I'm not the only weirdo then! I did some yesterday to 'test' it out!

I already have 2 batches made and in the freezer. I think I will pull some out tomorrow to decorate.

wow looks like a lot of us share this feeling. i've been scanning the galleries starting from over a month ago to get ideas. i'm going to try to make a batch of rolled buttercream tonight when i get home from school. i'm feeling excited/nervous!

What a good idea! I know when I am anticipating something I can't sleep, I have rididculous dreams about the smallest details..... doesn't help to be pregnant either, then the dreams are extra ridiculous. I think I'll be busting out the cookie cutters.

I'm doing cupcakes for my office this year, but....I have 2 days to bring them since not all of my student workers will be there on the 14th! That means I can spread my creativity out a little longer, yay!

I'm going home tonight and make cookie dough, I have 2 orders for Friday, 2 for Saturday and The rest for Mon, Tues and Wednesday. I am going to wrap the dough and bake as I go. I will bake my cookies for Friday and Saturday tonight and bake the ones for next week on Sunday.

yeah, I did bake some last night, but the ones for my baskets need to be on sticks, and I don't have room in my apartment sized freezer for them! Oh well, just think, after valentines day things will slow down for a bit and then we'll be complaining even more!

Oh YAH I wanna try the RBC too! I love the flavor of BC, but I like the stackability of MMF or RI. I assume RBC can be stacked just like those after it dries. I am definitely going to try it!

Hee, hee I already started! I had some to mail out yesterday and today and Friday so I got a head start.

I am now! I just got the call asking if I could make V-day cookies for one of my dd's class parties, WooHoo!!! I want to start right now lol, but I will wait.

I have been feeling the same way...just went and bought some more V-day cookie cutters today...My job just put out some easter stuff and I bought every cutter they had over there(egg, big bunny, lil bunny, duck, tulip all in pretty colors) can't wait to use them. Yayyyyy for baking.!!!!

Well, I got all of my V-Day cookies baked today and will go ahead and start decorating them tomorrow and Friday! Can we move Easter forward by about 6 weeks!

This will be my first time making decorated cookies and I can't wait to get started.

Hi TeekaLea.
I hope that I can do OK decorating the cookies. I have read so many posts that will be very helpful. I would love to decorate cakes too. I am already addicted to reading the boards.

wow i'm super excited for the decorating part now. i made NFSC dough today as well as toba garrett's chocolate cookie dough. for the NFSC is rolled and cut out 71 (grr...one short of 6 dozen) heart cookies and stacked them in the freezer...will bake on sunday. the chocolate dough will get rolled and frozen tomorrow. i made my RBC but haven't tried rolling it yet...it's sitting in the fridge with my chocolate dough.
I'M EXCITED!!! and a little nervous...so many cookies! haha. antsy is such a great word to describe this feeling.

I just can't get the cookie thing. I am going to need a lot of practice.

My biggest down fall is I can't stop eating them while I bake them. Sugar cookies is the only thing I make that I can't control myself. You don't even want to know how much weight I put on over the Holidays, all from sugar cookies.

I don't mind making them I just don't like to decorate them. Maybe that's why I'm not good at it.

I made, and cut out two batches of NFSC yesterday. they are in air containers now....soon to be in the freezer.
