Whether you are making food for a friend, family or significant other, sweets are the perfect way to someone’s heart. This Valentine’s Day, celebrate love by whipping up personalized heart-shaped cookie dough bites for your favorite people.

Ingredients

For the cookie dough:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 8 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup mini chocolate chips

For the chocolate coating:

  • ¾ cup chocolate melting wafers
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Assorted sprinkles and other toppings (optional)

Preparation

  1. Heat-treat flour by microwaving in a bowl for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring at 15 second intervals. This kills the bacteria in the flour, making the dough edible.
  2. Mix butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamy. Mix in vanilla, heavy cream and salt.
  3. Fold in the heat-treated flour until it forms a dough. Add chocolate chips.
  4. Mold the dough into hearts and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Microwave heavy cream for 30 seconds and pour over chocolate melting wafers.
  6. Let the chocolate sit for two minutes before stirring until smooth.
  7. Using a fork, dunk the hearts in the chocolate mixture, making sure to evenly coat the dough.
  8. Decorate with sprinkles and toppings before the chocolate hardens.
  9. Refrigerate for 15 minutes and serve.
