Bake-Ahead Valentine’s Day Cookies & Bars – Easy Eggless Treats to Share

7

Every year around Valentine’s Day, my kitchen starts feeling a little busier than usual – not because I’m planning something grand, but because I love having small homemade treats ready to share. For me, this season has never been about fancy dinners or big gestures. It’s always been about simple things – a freshly baked batch cooling on the counter, the smell of butter and vanilla in the air, and that quiet excitement of packing goodies for people I care about.

Over time, I’ve realised that cookie and bar recipes are the easiest Valentine’s Day bakes for a busy life like mine. Between office work, home, and everything in between, I rarely get the luxury to bake on the same day. So I started making bake-ahead Valentine’s Day cookies and bars – treats that stay fresh, travel well, and can be enjoyed slowly over a few days.

What I love most is how these easy eggless Valentine’s Day treats naturally become part of everyday moments – a quick sweet bite with evening tea, a surprise snack in my child’s lunchbox, or a small box shared with colleagues. They’re simple, comforting, and honestly, they make Valentine’s Day feel less like an event and more like a warm, ongoing feeling.
