Heart-Shaped Sweets for Your Sweetheart

Come Valentine’s Day next Thursday, everyone could use a little expression of love, whether it’s with a secret love note, or, possibly more deliciously, a cookie in the shape of a heart. The best thing about these sweet treats is that there are no rules saying you can’t buy one for yourself. So where can you get them?

Meredith’s Bakery at the Cortelyou Greenmarket on Sunday will have an assortment of Valentine’s Day-themed goodies. This past week, they had the large, frosted heart-shaped cookies pictured above, as well as boxes of smaller red and pink cookies and cupcakes.

Got a large group of people you want to treat? John’s Bakery (1322 Cortelyou Road) sells these “I Love You” butter cookies by the pound.
