Recipe for Melting Heart Cookies: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each ball. Chill for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the cookie is slightly cracked on the surface. Remove from the oven and gently press a chocolate heart in the center of each cookie while they are still warm. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Verdict:

These Melting Heart Cookies are the perfect combination of rich chocolate cookie and a surprise, gooey chocolate center. With a light sprinkle of powdered sugar on top, these cookies make for a perfect Valentine’s Day treat or for any occasion for the chocolate lovers out there.

Serving Suggestions:
