Heart Glazed Cornmeal Cookies is an ideal cookie to prepare for valentines day. I really enjoyed making these cookies, it's so much fun to make the heart shape impressions on the cookies and filled up with pink color sugar glaze.
Back home in India, baking is not an integral part of our cooking system, we always brought baking goods from the bakery shop, so whenever I bake something at home and if it turns out well, it gives immense satisfaction of achieving something big.
