Instructions
Cookies
Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and beat together until combined
Add the plain flour, cocoa powder, egg and vanilla and beat again until the cookie dough is coming together
Knead the biscuit dough together to make it come together
Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and cut out your heart shaped biscuits
Place onto lined trays, spread apart, and chill for 30+ minutes.
Whilst chilling, preheat the oven to 180ºc/160ºfan
Once the biscuits are chilled, bake in the oven for 15 minutes and then leave to cool fully on the trays
Decoration
Beat the butter on its own until its smooth
Add the icing sugar and beat again until combined
Add the food colouring and beat again
Pipe the frosting onto half of the cookies, filling in the middles and piping right to the edges
Sandwich it with another cookie
Dip the cookies into a bowl of sprinkles all around the sides so the sprinkles stick to the frosting and let them sit to set slightly.
Notes
You can use whatever size
cutter
you want, but aiming for a 6-7cm one will have best results for this recipe.
I use a bright
pink food colouring
but you can use whatever colouring you want
These cookies will last 6-7+ days at room temperature or in the fridge, or can freeze for 3+ months
