Happy Valentine’s Day, Mr. Darcy.

If you’re anything like me and the people who answered this survey of the most romantic characters in literature, you have a thing for a certain Mr. Darcy.
Shocking as it may be, Fitzwilliam Darcy of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice was not number one on that list. It turns out that more people swoon over Mr. Rochester of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre. But since I prefer Darcy and since I was looking for any excuse to bake something, I decided to whip up a batch of cookies in honour of Valentine’s Day and my favourite romantic hero.

(I used the Williams-Sonoma Message-in-a-Cookie Cutters to make these.)

  1. Ah Mr Darcy, when will you be mine? :)

  2. What a great idea! Food is my favourite way to show my love too.

    Is it sad to say that I love Mr. Darcy because of good old Colin Firth’s portrayal in the BBC or PBS movie version of P&P?
