I have ONE special little boy in my life and that's it.

Nevermind that he's eighteen and looks like he could be a linebacker for a the New Orleans Saints. He's still my little boy and he still LOVES Crocodiles.

When it comes to Valentine's day it's hard to find him "treat" related things. Valentine's day is centered toward women.

Let's be honest here.....IT'S ALL ABOUT US....not that I'm complaining.

So when Valentine's day rolls around I always try to find him things with Crocodiles or Alligators.

Educational fact: Alligators have a round snout and crocodiles have a more pointier snout.

Just thought I'd toss that bit of education in there, ya know, so we can learn here.

I think this cookie could go either way, but I'll call him a crocodile. Maybe it's because of the years of watching Crocodile Dundee with my son. Who knows.

Moving on......

Yesterday I showed you how to make Love Bites cookies. Pair those with a crocodile cookie and you have a perfect treat for your special little boy on Valentine's day.

If your gonna make your little man some cookies, you're gonna need to know how right? Ok let me show you how to make these adorable cookies.

First start with Crocodile shaped cookies baked and cooled.

Next outline cookie with #2 tip and avocado green royal icing. Allow that to dry for about 15 min.

Then we begin making the texture on the crocodile. Still using the #2 tip and green royal icing we will pipe a bead of icing then release pressure while pulling downward. This may take a bit of practice and you can practice on a piece of wax paper ahead of time. Don't get frustrated if you can't do it at first, it's easier than it seems. Just keep practicing.

Work in rows going across on the crocodile.

Continue doing this until the entire cookie is filled.

When you do the arms and legs, do the piping in a different direction. Working away from the foot and toward the body. When entire cookie is filled, allow to dry overnight.

Then add face details and claws. Then let dry a few hours.

He's really easy to make and you can have a special Valentine's treat for your little man....or big man.

Valentine's Day......

Let's face it, it's not for single people. It's a holiday all about love.

When I was single I hated Valentine's day. It was the most dreaded holiday. Everyone was talking about love, getting candy, flowers, jewelry....you name it.

Leaves a single gal feeling quite ALONE!

When your single LOVE BITES! Big time!

So I thought I would make some cookies for those of you out there that are single and feel that love does bite. Or maybe some of you just don't like Valentine's day. After all it is all about mushy gushy love stuff.

Roll out cookie dough and cut with a heart shaped cookie cutter.

Next take a scalloped edged heart and cut a "bite" from the side of the heart.

Remove tiny piece of dough. You will not need this. Bake your cookies at 375˚ for 10-12 min.

Next outline your cookie with red royal icing and a #2 tip. Allow to dry for about 15-30 minutes.

Next with red flood icing, start filling in the cookie.

After the heart is completely filled, be sure to pop any air bubbles with a toothpick or this

yellow stick

. Let cookie dry overnight.

When cookie is completely dry, using a #1.5 PME tip and white royal icing, pipe LOVE BITES on the cookie. I use stiffer royal icing for this step so the letters don't run.

You could fit the entire words on the cookie or you could have it so that the "S" looks like

it was bitten off. After the words are piped, let dry for a few hours.

If you wanted a cute idea for a boy's valentine's, You can add a crocodile cookie.
