How to Make Chocolate Heart Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies, spacing them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set.
- Remove cookies from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup white chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup milk chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip cooled cookies into the melted white chocolate, then drizzle with melted milk chocolate (or vice versa, to your preference).
- Place cookies on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to set completely.
