Baking up some Valentine’s Day love with a McCormick giveaway

When it comes to cooking with with my kids, I like to keep it simple even though they’re old enough to cut up vegetables and measuring out ingredients. Sometimes it’s more about having fun than sharpening our culinary skills. That’s why this Valentine’s Day cookie recipe from McCormick is perfect. All you need is a package of your favorite sugar cookie mix, some McCormick® Red Food Color, a rolling pin and a few heart shaped cookie cutters. And don’t forget to include your imagination and a good dose of fun and giggles!
