Personal Size Cookie Tart -- an easy and inexpensive Valentine's Day treat
I love a special homemade treat, and this adorable personal size chocolate chip cookie tart is cute and delicious. I paired my favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe with some inexpensive dollar store dishes, and I'm sharing the recipe below.
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2) In a medium bowl, whisk together the following dry ingredients:
- 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter (at room temperature... NOT melted)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
This tart is based on my tried and true chocolate chip cookie recipe, so I hope you give it a try. This really is the perfect easy and inexpensive Valentine's Day treat.

FREE Printable Valentine's Day Print
I love seasonal decorating, but I never want to spend a lot of money on something that is only going to be on display for a couple of weeks. That's why one of my favourite holiday decor hacks is putting free prints in dollar store frames. This year, I designed a simple ombre Valentine's Day print -- and you can download a copy FOR FREE below.
I made three versions of the print, so you can choose the one you like the best.
To download a copy of the print: choose the print you like below, click on it, right-click, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 8x10 photo.
I printed mine at Staples for less than $1, but alternatively, you can print it at home or wherever you get your photos printed.
