Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts

Pin to Pinterest

Is anyone else a cookie dough eater? What is it about this sweet treat. Often my cookies get eaten raw before the make it to the oven to bake. We have the perfect treat for the cookie dough and chocolate lover! These Cookie Dough Hearts are the perfect treat. Serve for Valentine’s Day or any ole’ reason. Enjoy!

Chocolate Dipped Cookie Dough Hearts:

Yields: 25 – 35 hearts (may vary depending on size of cookie cutter used)
Total Time: 20 minutes + 30 minutes cool time = 50 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups milk chocolate chips
Optional: decorative sprinkles

Directions:

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, sugars, softened butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With clean hands, work the dough. Add 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue to work the dough until chocolate chips are incorporated. One tablespoon at a time, add water if needed to get the desired consistency.
Lay a piece of parchment paper on a large flat surface (baking sheet or cutting board works well). Place the dough onto the parchment paper and spread it out evenly until the thickness reaches approximately 1/2”.
Place the cookie dough in the fridge to cool for 20 minutes.
Once cooled, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts from the dough (smaller cookie cutters work best to make bite sized pieces). Combine the scrap dough continually to make as many hearts as possible.
Once all dough is used, place 2 cups milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 15-20 seconds, stir and continue this process until chocolate is completely melted. Place one heart in the chocolate at a time and completely coat. Using a fork lift the cookie dough heart out of the chocolate – tapping the side of the bowl to ensure excess chocolate drips off. Place the chocolate covered heart back on the parchment paper, and quickly add sprinkles (if desired) while chocolate is still melted. Continue this process until all cookie dough hearts are covered in melted chocolate.
Chill in the fridge for 10 additional minutes and then serve.

*Cookie dough hearts should be stored in the refrigerator

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys. Be sure to Follow Frugal Coupon Living on Pinterest where there are many Pinterest Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

25+ Christmas Traditions to Start Right Now

Pin to Pinterest

Recently we moved from Florida (my home state of 30+ years) to the Washington, DC area. This put us away from extended family in in a while new world of focusing on our core family. My girls are in the early stages of elementary school and are beginning to understand the real meaning of Christmas. Santa, and additionally the Elf on the Shelf, have gone out the window (yes, he no longer comes down the chimney) and my focus is now on finding activities during the Christmas season that reflect not only family, but reason for the season – The Birth of Christ. One of the ways we have gotten back to the basics is through our family Advent Calendar.
