This year, Valentine's Day fell on Friday and, when it does so, it tends to have an outsized calendar presence and overtake the whole weekend. It also had an effect on me, with a decided bent towards some sweet treats appropriate for the occasion. It began with a delicious batch of red velvet white chocolate chip cookies, made that Friday afternoon (pictured above). They were pretty damned delicious and should show up more often than this.
Then, much later in the evening, I took a deep dive into an unsuccessful but nonetheless interesting strawberry shortcake experiment, using a recent article from Salon.com.
I really don't want to go to the trouble to dip strawberry halves in melted chocolate again but I felt the need to go all the way on this one.
The last of the weekend baking in honor of the holiday was a simpler one: good ol' chocolate chip cookies, made with browned butter, utilizing a recipe my sister Allison had sent to me to try.
