Description

A cookie heart filled with a little chocolate then placed on a lollipop stick. Happy Valentines everyone!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups All Purpose Flour, Sifted
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg
  • 1 cup (2 Sticks) Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoons Red Food Coloring (optional)
  • 24 sticks Lollipop Sticks
  • 1 bag Merckens Melting Chocolates, Color Of Choice (1 Pound Bag)

Preparation

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a bowl. Set aside.

Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture.

Divide dough in half. If you want to have red hearts then add about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of food coloring or just a small amount of gel-paste to half the dough and mix well. Wrap each half of dough in plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Let one disk of dough stand at room temperature just until slightly softened (enough to roll), about 5 to 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to just about 3/16 inch thick, adding flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Cut out cookies with a 2 1/2 inch heart cookie cutter, then cut out the smaller heart in the upper corners of the cookies.

Then carefully insert the lollipop stick into the center of the cookie being careful not to push the stick out of the cookie. Place the cookies carefully onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill cookies in freezer until very firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Roll out any scraps, and repeat. Repeat with the remaining disk of dough. You can also use the extra smaller hearts you have cut out to make small sweethearts.

Bake cookies, switching positions of sheets and rotating halfway through, until edges are slightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. The sweetheart cookies will be around 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.

Place cookies onto wax paper once cooled. Melt chocolate color of choice as directions state. Using a small squeeze bottle, flood the small heart cut-out with chocolate. Gentle tap the pan to get the chocolate to set evenly in the small heart. Let chocolate set completely before removing from wax paper. You can place in the refrigerator or freezer to let the chocolate set faster.

You can wrap the cookies in lollipop bags and tie with a bow if you are giving these treats away to friends and family.

The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
