Because nobody should spend a holiday feeling unloved - or a day at all - I'm making cookies for people without valentines. The point of the holiday is about love, and I think we all have plenty of that.

So, if you find yourself feeling down, let me know. I've got hugs and sugar.

	Me! Poor, loveless Sirius Black. Cookie? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh, you are not, but you know you only have to ask for cookies, Sirius. What kind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of each? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course, silly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You make it very hard to be a bitter and cynical person. I think you delight in so aggressively making me happy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And here I thought you were happy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am. I am simply trying to be annoyed with culture at large, and yet you keep distracting me with love and desire and joy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Culture is silly, Lucifer. I don't need things for Valentine's Day. I've got you and the kids and I have kitties and I have cookies baking. There's not much else I want, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	morningbringer 2009-02-12 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	I may not approve of Valentine's Day, but any excuse to celebrate the fact that I love you is a good one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pet name, is it? An' here I was going to stop by an' citizen's-arrest you for parading on my rain. What's got you so saccharine, pet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Pet name? No, that's Lucifer. And nothing, really, I just like making people happy. I'm Mary, would you like some cookies too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-12 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Bloke must've dyed his hair. An' lost the tail. Unless that does it for a woman these days, in which case, hey, more power to the both of you. Lucifer's bird is passing out cookies. To 'make people happy'. Lemme guess- 'Eat Me's written on them, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, he's always looked like this, even when I was with Thor. That was a while ago, though. Nope! I don't put a lot of frosting on them unless people ask for it. Cookies are sweet enough without, I think. ... wait, are you implying something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-12 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Thor. S'that right? Guessing that's not exactly a petname either. Now, do I look like the type to imply something, missus? Of course not. I'm certain they're to die for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, no, he was a clone of Thor. Same way I'm a clone of Mary. Well, they're okay, but I'm sure that Lucifer could whip up some better ones - he's had proper training and everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-12 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Clone of- woah, woah. Stop the boat. Clone of... the Virgin Mother? Sod well off. Are you serious? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Pretty darn, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	silkcutcasanova 2009-02-12 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. I No, I think 'thank you' covers it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	virginal_ 2009-02-12 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	So, what kind of cookies do you want? I still don't know your name yet, I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	From bad to worse is usually the case there, but thank you for the thought, doll. Don't let an old bastard rain on your parade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I meant for the better, John. It has to. Nobody can be down all the time. Would you let me sneak some peanut brittle in here too? Oh, maybe a little cake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seems to me I do my bloody best. S'my lot in life, though, no feuding that. Your perogative, squire. Can't go turning down free food in my position, can I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aww, that's a really sweet idea! I don't need any cookies, but I guess you must bake a lot? Do you have any recipes for said cookies you wouldn't mind parting with? I'm thinking about making some for a certain somebody. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Here you go!

* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2/3 cup cocoa powder
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or just until set. Cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

They're really really easy, and I'm sure he'll like them!
