Triple Chocolate Heart cookies made using my favourite super chocolate cookie recipe filled with dark and white chocolate chips. Perfect valentines for those who are looking for something that's not overly cute but still super delicious.
and I didn't even use a special heart shaped pan........that's right no special equipment here just cookies made with love.
This trick should work for most chocolate chip cookie recipes that do not spread too much during baking. You just get 2 tear shaped bits of dough, place them together in a V and as they bake, rise and expand voila instant love hearts.
Probably works best if you chill the dough in the fridge quite a bit before shaping them into the tear drops and baking, not like the melty sticky ones in the picture above.
I also picked all the red and pink M &M's out of a mini M&M packet and stuck them on the top before baking for a bit of extra valentine cuteness.

Sweet! Where did you get the pink and red M&Ms?
ReplyDeleteHi Katie - I picked all the pink and red ones out of a packet. But you can actually buy just pink or red beanies from Sharnel Dollar Designs here: http://www.sharneldollardesigns.com.au/store/pc/Choc-Beans-c34.htm
