Chocolate Dipped Heart Cookies

Chocolate Dipped Heart Cookies are such a great cookie for Valentine’s Day.  This is actually a Land O’ Lakes recipe that I have tweaked.  I typically make these for the holidays using 1 teaspoon peppermint extract in the dough and the chocolate.  They are delicious.  Another family favorite!

For Valentine’s Day, I thought I would try rose water, which provides a delicate aroma of rose petals.  A rose water vanilla blend offers a feeling of sensuality and seductiveness.  Please note a little rose water goes a long way.

 

Rose Water

Cookies:  In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, honey, cream cheese, egg, vanilla and rose water. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until light and fluffy, 3 – 4 minutes.

Add flour and cardamom, continue beating until well mixed, 2 – 3 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out with a floured heart shaped cutter. Place 1 inch apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until edges are very lightly golden browned. Remove from the cookie sheet to a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.

For Glaze: in small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally, over low heat until melted, 4 to 6 minutes. Dip the top half of each heart cookie into the chocolate. Place on a waxed lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Store covered, in refrigerator.
