I think… if it is true that
there are as many minds as there
are heads, then there are as many
kinds of love as there are hearts.

• Leo Tolstoy

Shortbread for Valentine’s day, to suit every kind of love. Some wholeheartedly drenched in sprinkles, some half hearted, some just a smidgen, and some left bare. Delicious as a snack with a cuppa tea #letshavecuppatea or a dessert.

An easy no fail recipe from my friend, who makes it for her son every Valentine’s day, and used to also give me some. Thanks to Covid this year, we couldn’t meet and so I had to make them myself 🙂🙃!
