I want to make my valentines day cookies now! I get nervous when working with deadlines sometimes. Plus I feel like making cookies and just don't want to wait. Anyone else feeling the Pre-valentines rush? LOL
Oh my goodness! You were truly reading my mind when you posted this topic! I got my cookie dough made up and am going to start doing the cutouts today because I don't want to wait another day! LOL..... I'll store them in airtight bags and then decorate them right before V-Day.
So, like you I too am feeling really antsy over getting them done and want to make them start to finish right now!!!

I already have 2 batches made and in the freezer. I think I will pull some out tomorrow to decorate.
What a good idea! I know when I am anticipating something I can't sleep, I have rididculous dreams about the smallest details..... doesn't help to be pregnant either, then the dreams are extra ridiculous. I think I'll be busting out the cookie cutters.
I'm doing cupcakes for my office this year, but....I have 2 days to bring them since not all of my student workers will be there on the 14th! That means I can spread my creativity out a little longer, yay!
I'm going home tonight and make cookie dough, I have 2 orders for Friday, 2 for Saturday and The rest for Mon, Tues and Wednesday. I am going to wrap the dough and bake as I go. I will bake my cookies for Friday and Saturday tonight and bake the ones for next week on Sunday.
wow looks like a lot of us share this feeling. i've been scanning the galleries starting from over a month ago to get ideas. i'm going to try to make a batch of rolled buttercream tonight when i get home from school. i'm feeling excited/nervous!
OK, you just gave me the push I needed to try the RBC for the first time on my cutouts! 
Oh this thread is making me reaaaaaaaaly want to have more ovens in my kitchen!!

yeah, I did bake some last night, but the ones for my baskets need to be on sticks, and I don't have room in my apartment sized freezer for them! Oh well, just think, after valentines day things will slow down for a bit and then we'll be complaining even more!
Hee, hee I already started! I had some to mail out yesterday and today and Friday so I got a head start.
I have been feeling the same way...just went and bought some more V-day cookie cutters today...My job just put out some easter stuff and I bought every cutter they had over there(egg, big bunny, lil bunny, duck, tulip all in pretty colors) can't wait to use them. Yayyyyy for baking.!!!!
This will be my first time making decorated cookies and I can't wait to get started.

Uh-oh! Now you are going to be highly addicted to decorating cookies. I started with cookies many years ago and am now learning to deco cakes, which I am enjoying just as much as the cookies.

Hi TeekaLea.
I hope that I can do OK decorating the cookies. I have read so many posts that will be very helpful. I would love to decorate cakes too. I am already addicted to reading the boards.

Oh I know just what you mean. I just joined 2 or 3 weeks ago and can't get away from my computer! 
Just tonight I went to the recipe section and printed out a stack of "filling" recipes, only the ones with 4 and 5 star ratings. CC is a wonderful resource for all cake and cookie decorators and I LOVE IT!

wow i'm super excited for the decorating part now. i made NFSC dough today as well as toba garrett's chocolate cookie dough. for the NFSC is rolled and cut out 71 (grr...one short of 6 dozen) heart cookies and stacked them in the freezer...will bake on sunday. the chocolate dough will get rolled and frozen tomorrow. i made my RBC but haven't tried rolling it yet...it's sitting in the fridge with my chocolate dough.
I'M EXCITED!!! and a little nervous...so many cookies! haha. antsy is such a great word to describe this feeling.
I just can't get the cookie thing. I am going to need a lot of practice.
My biggest down fall is I can't stop eating them while I bake them. Sugar cookies is the only thing I make that I can't control myself. You don't even want to know how much weight I put on over the Holidays, all from sugar cookies.
I don't mind making them I just don't like to decorate them. Maybe that's why I'm not good at it.
