Valentine's Heart Cookies

Valentine's Day is for doing something special for the ones you love. And what could be more special than baking someone a batch of their favourite cookies? 

   Here is an easy recipe I used! Takes about 45 minutes in total!

 Recipe: 

1/2 cup butter
1 cup plain flour (maida)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
100 gms Chocolate Powder( Drinking Chocolate)
2 to 3 tbsp milk

Instructions:

*Preheat Oven to 180 degrees Celsius

*Whisk the butter and sugar together until properly mixed, and soft and creamy. 
(dip in a finger to check-and taste!)

*Add the Vanilla Essence and Chocolate, and mix again.
(You can substitute drinking chocolate with pieces of a chocolate bar)

*Add Flour, and make a dough. 
(Roll up your sleeves for this one!)

*Roll with a rolling pin, cut heart shapes with a cookie-cutter, and place in a baking tray. 
(grease the tray with more butter.)

*Bake for 25 minutes. Let them cool. 
(Meanwhile, enjoy the baking aroma.)

*Wrap prettily and gift them to your parents, friends, pets, or that someone special!
(And get Lots of Love in return!)


Makes 10 cookies.

Shubhi!
