Chocolate Shortbread Recipe Chocolate Dipped Shortbread

Updated March 03, 2020

Now that the big game is over we can focus on Valentine’s Day. It is time to bust out the chocolate and get ready for the day of looooove! To be honest, Valentine’s Day isn’t my favorite holiday, but I will celebrate any holiday that gives me an excuse to eat chocolate. Chocolate Shortbread Heart Cookies are the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. The cookies are chocolate AND they get dipped into melted chocolate. Double the chocolate, double the fun!

I love shortbread cookies because they are crisp and buttery! Bring on the butter!

I used Dutch processed cocoa powder to bring out the rich chocolate flavor. I also used our favorite flour, Gold Medal Flour’s Organic All-Purpose Flour. It is the best! And you want to use the best when you are making cookies for your loved ones! I had to use my pink mixer to make Valentine cookies. So festive!

I rolled out the cookies and cut them into cute heart shapes!

When they were done baking, I dipped the hearts into melted chocolate and sprinkled colorful Valentine’s sprinkles over the chocolate before it hardened.

I had chocolate and sprinkles all over the kitchen, but it was SO worth it. Look at how cute these cookies are!

You know what’s even cuter than the cookies? Our little pea, Caleb! He couldn’t wait to taste a cookie!

He was yelling, “CHOCOLATE!”

Chocolate face and hands…Caleb approved! He is my special Valentine and the cutest taste tester ever! Baking is so much more fun when you can share with your loved ones. If you are looking for a special treat to make your special Valentine, make Chocolate Shortbread Heart Cookies. They are sure to make your sweetie’s heart go pitter patter!
