Dark Chocolate Valentine Cookies

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and that means two things to me – sugary treats and chocolate (preferably together). As I was planning out the year for my blog I knew I wanted to do something centered around my love of chocolate for you all in February.

I am in love with these chocolate cookies. The cookie has the perfect chocolate flavor and is rich and dark in color because of dutch processed cocoa. You just can’t go wrong with that cocoa! I dressed them up for the holiday with some simple sugar hearts and conversation hearts. My kids loved these cookies and they liked helping me decorate them even more. And I loved that they were pretty without having to make any icing and pipe it on. I love a decorated sugar cookie but they can be such a hassle. I’m still recovering from making a million and one sugar cookies at Christmas.

So save yourself a little time and mess by making these delicious rich dark chocolate Valentine cookies. They are decorated before you even stick them in the oven!

How should I store these cookies?

You can store the baked cookies in an airtight container or freeze them for later! You can even form the uncooked dough into balls and freeze the balls to bake into cookies later as well.

What else can I put on top of these cookies?

To keep with the Valentine’s Day theme, these cookies would also taste delicious with icing on top that you could even dye a lovely color you like. Another tasty option would be to dip half of a cooled cookie in melted chocolate and add sprinkles. There are lots of ways to show your love of cookies and of Valentine’s.
