Chocolate {Valentine} Cutout Cookies
I first saw these cookies on Flickr. Glorious Treats made them…….and they look AMAZING!!
Sunshine and I made them over the weekend…….ours don’t look as perfect and as glorious as the ones we saw on Flickr……..but not bad for our first attempt!

It took a little bit of foot work to track down the recipe, but I found it! Posted here on a cake message board.
*I got (18) 3? hearts and (9) 4.5? hearts out of one batch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp extra-strong coffee or chocolate liqueur *(I used Vanilla with instant coffee mixed in)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugars for 2 minutes.
- Scrape the bowl and cream the mixture for an additional minute. Beat in the egg
- and coffee or liqueur. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time to the butter mixture. Mix well.
- Divide dough and chill. Bake 6 to 8 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This dough can be frozen.
- Ice with Royal Icing. Color with Americolor Super Red and Americolor Deep Pink
