Happy Valentine's Day

I'm a little late. Valentine's Day was last Monday, almost a week ago. But I promise these were eaten on Valentine's Day. Along with Jam'N'Oatmeal cookies (next post! I promise!) and my favourite cookies, sugar cookies! I'm not sharing that recipe with you though. That's my little secret. Though it turns out, English people think they are too sweet. Tough! They're called sugar cookies for a reason!

Enough with the exclamation points, on with the recipe.

Heart Chocolate Biscuits

150g soften butter

100g caster sugar

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

200g plain flour

25g cocoa powder

300g icing sugar

milk

food colouring

Preheat 350/180/gas 4.

Beat butter with sugar until fluffy. Seperate eggs. Add the yolks to butter/sugar mixture with the vanilla. (Save the whites for yummy healthy breakfast).

Sift flour and cocoa. Stir into butter mix until a dough. You may need to use your hands to mix at the end. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to a coin thickness. Cut out into heart shapes. Bake 12 minutes. Put on wire rack until cooled.

To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add food colour first then ONLY enough milk to make a spreadable icing. Frost cookies once cool.
