How to Make Here's My Heart Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon baking powder, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap (wax paper is also fine), and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface.
  6. Roll out the chilled dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
  7. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  11. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate.
  12. Immediately sprinkle with ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts work well) while the chocolate is still wet.
