About Chocolate Valentine Cookies

Cookies are perfect for any occasion, but these Chocolate Valentine Cookies hold a special place in my heart—they were lovingly baked just for my husband on Valentine's Day. With their melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich chocolate flavor, these treats are not only easy to make but also feature my favorite ingredient: chocolate.

The cookies are adorned with a simple yet delightful icing, made from powdered sugar for a glaze that’s reminiscent of royal icing but far easier to whip up. Pair these sweet bites with your favorite cup of coffee or tea for a cozy moment with your valentine. Give them a try this Valentine's Day and create your own delicious memories!

Instructions

▢
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, espresso, and cocoa powder.
▢
Beat butter and sugar till light, creamy and fluffy (about 3 minutes) with a hand held mixer.
▢
Add eggs one at a time, beating well before adding the next.
▢
Add vanilla and beat again to incorporate it in the mixture.
▢
Combine flour with wet mixture in three parts (not all in one go). Beat again. Scrape the sides well and make a mixture.
▢
Transfer to a clean surface and knead to get it together. Cover with cling film and chill the dough for an hour.
▢
Preheat oven to 350 Deg F (180 Deg C). Line baking tray with non stick parchment paper.
▢
Roll the dough in 1/8" thick round shape and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters or any bottle lids.
▢
Transfer the cookies on baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes. Rotate the tray midway through baking time.
▢
Let them cool on baking sheet for sometime and then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
▢
For icing: Combine all ingredients for glaze with a whisk till its smooth except the food color. Divide the glaze in different bowls and add food colors of your choice.
▢
Take a ziploc bag. Fill it with the glaze. Snipe of small end of the bag and use it as piping bag. Decorate as you wish. Spread the icing with toothpick. Before adding another colored glaze wait for few minutes so the earlier glaze sets.

Recipe Notes

Sifting flour prevents cookies from drying out and makes them lighter. If unsalted butter is unavailable, skip the salt and use salted butter.

Additional Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, fold in chopped dried cherries or freeze-dried raspberries to the dough; their tartness pairs beautifully with the rich chocolate and adds a romantic touch.
If you want crisp-edged cookies with chewy centers, chill the dough for at least 1 hour before baking—this also helps the cookies retain their shape if you're using heart-shaped cutters.
To create a striking visual effect, use pink, red, or white sanding sugar to sprinkle over the icing before it sets, or drizzle with melted ruby or white chocolate for a sophisticated finish.
These cookies freeze well, both before and after baking. Freeze uniced, shaped dough on a tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time, or freeze finished cookies and glaze fresh just before serving.
