Oreos & Hello Kitty & Valentine's Day =•.•=

You can make these anytime. For yourself, for hubsters, girlfriend, boyfriend, kiddos. Anyone!!!

What you'll need:
Cookie cutters
Paring knife or Exacto knife
Sprinkles (hearts, confetti, jimmies) etc.
Oreos or JoeJoes (any variety of colors are fun)

Procedure:
Carefully twist off one side of the cookie sandwich.
Using the cookie with the cream still intact, carefully imprint the cutter into the cream (try not to crack the cookie- be gentle). <\3
Carefully scrape off the unwanted cream away from the intended image.
Carefully lift the cookie cutter.
You may garnish with the sprinkles as pictured or just your imagination.
