Looking for valentines day cookies with a little something extra? Think pink icing, tiny flowers and chocolate chip hearts.
These ideas include detailed decorated sets plus simpler cookies with colorful sprinkles. There’s even a giant cookie with a sweet little mailbox design.
You can keep things simple or go all out with piping. I especially love the pastel conversation hearts.
From gift boxes to pretty platters, there’s plenty here to inspire your own Valentine’s treats.
Valentine's Day Cookie Ideas Worth Saving
pink hearts and lace borders
We’re starting off strong with these gorgeous pink and white cookies. I am obsessed with the lace-like borders and tiny piped dots.
The flower details on the middle heart are so pretty.
If you want to try a smaller selection, choose one floral heart and a few dotted designs rather than copying every pattern.
pastel conversation hearts
How cute is this box? The yellow, lavender, blue and green hearts look like oversized conversation candies.
Little red messages make them even sweeter.
Try short phrases like “SWEET PEA” or “CRAZY 4 U” on your own cookies. I love the pink shredded paper underneath this set.
red cookies with white swirls
If you’re looking for a cookie idea without detailed lettering, go with this decorating style. These deep red rounds have big white frosting swirls and red crumbs scattered on top.
That color pairing does plenty on its own.

chocolate hearts and sprinkles
The sprinkle fans are going to love this! Each round cookie has a chocolate heart in the middle with pink, red and white sprinkles all around it.
I’d keep the heart uncovered like this so its shape stays clear among all those little dots.
tiny roses and dotted stripes
This floral set may just be my favorite one so far. I love the tiny rose decorations with green leaves.
The dotted stripes and little red flowers make the pale pink and white hearts look so delicate.
Save this one as a reference if you want a more detailed piped design.
powdered hearts with red centers
Don’t want to add pink frosting or piped words? No problem there!
These sandwich cookies have a white dusting and little heart-shaped windows showing the glossy red filling.
The scalloped edges around those openings are my favorite detail.
little heart sprinkles
I love these round cookies with their scattered heart sprinkles. The red, pink and white mix looks so cute against the golden tops.
There’s a light white dusting too, but no big layer of icing hiding the cookies.

drizzled cookie gift box
If you are looking for a gift-box idea, then this one is for you. There are golden cookies with dark drizzle beside darker cookies with white-coated edges.
The little heart decorations bring both styles together.
Try heart-patterned lining and a red envelope if you want to follow the presentation too.
thick pink frosting hearts
How cute are these pink hearts? Not gonna lie, I love the big frosting swoops just as much as the sprinkles!
Some have red and white sprinkles with round pink and white decorations. Others keep the frosting plain.
Try a mix like this rather than giving every cookie the same finish.
pink glazed sandwich hearts
These heart sandwiches are so pretty with their pale pink tops. The glossy red filling peeks out between the layers, plus there are red flecks across the glaze.
I’d leave off extra piping here. There’s already plenty to love about that pink and red combination.
a cup of tiny messages
This is such a cute way to package a few cookies. The clear domed cup shows off pink and red hearts with white outlines and little messages.
Try a red ribbon around your container like the one here. Keep a cookie with “XOXO” facing outward so the message is part of the gift.
ruffled conversation hearts
This is another conversation-heart idea, but it’s a little different from the pastel box above. I love the white piped borders around the pink and deep red hearts.
Mix bordered cookies with plain-edged ones to follow this set. Short messages like “BE MINE” leave plenty of room around the lettering.
chocolate chip hearts
Don’t want to go overboard with decorating? No problem!
These heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies skip the frosting altogether. The golden edges and chocolate chips across the tops are lovely just as they are.
pink flecks and dark drizzle
I love these pale cookies with pink flecks and thin brown drizzle. The lines run in slightly different directions, so you don’t need to plan an identical pattern for each one.
A little pink serving bowl would be a cute way to carry that color onto your table.
a little love cookie stack
OMG, how adorable is this cookie gift? The letters spell out “LOVE” with a flower-topped heart standing in for the O.
The dotted L and E look so cute beside the striped V. Try arranging yours vertically in a clear bag with a pink bow to show the whole word.
red and pink iced rounds
If you like bold color but don’t want lettering, this one is for you. Round cookies have red, pink and pale icing with thin drizzled lines across the tops.

Keep some with just a few tiny dots. Add red heart sprinkles to others if you want the same mix.
pink borders on cookie hearts
I am obsessed with these thick chocolate chip hearts. The little pink frosting stars around the edges are just so cute.
Some have a pink squiggle across the middle too. A cluster of red and white heart sprinkles near the top is the detail I’d keep on every one.
bright candies and chocolate
Who says you need a heart-shaped cookie for Valentine’s Day? These golden rounds have pink and red candy pieces beside chocolate chips and glossy chocolate patches.

I love the mix of pale pink and brighter pink. Use that color combination as inspiration if you’re planning a candy-topped batch.
be mine mailbox cookie
If you are looking for a larger cookie to share, then this one is for you. There’s a white mailbox beneath the “Be Mine” lettering with heart-shaped flowers and green grass around it.
The alternating pink and dark frosting border is so pretty. That’s a detail you could borrow even if you choose a simpler center design.
pink red and white candy rounds
Last but definitely not least, we have these candy-covered chocolate chip cookies. I love the pink, red and white pieces scattered across the tops!
The cookies are spread over a cooling rack with no frosting or piped borders, just lots of colorful little details.
