I agree with Jonas, "I'm not here for the happiness and the love, I'm here for the food". Valentine's Day for me is all about sugar cookies. I love baking , decorating and sharing them with family and friends.
It seems like every year I get a call from one of the girls for the sugar cookie recipe. I discovered this recipe in my Orangeville cookbook, it is the best one I have found by far.
Best Ever Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter 1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar 2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs 1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla 2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp lemon extract 6 cups flour
Cream butter and sugar together; add eggs and beat until fluffy. In a separate small bowl, add baking soda to sour cream; stir well (rises to almost 2 cups). Add flavorings to creamed mixture. Stir in dry ingredients alternately with sour cream mixture. Roll out dough using enough flour so dough doesn't stick to surface and rolling pin. Roll 1/4 inch thick or desired thickness. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes. Don't overbake. Makes 5 to 6 dozen.

Those look yummy and beautiful! Looks like the cookie glaze is getting better every time it happens.
Jenny, the strawberry banana ice cream recipe is in the old castle dale ward cookbook. Don't you have it? Mom had it in her cupboard. Look for it there.
