Delight in these adorable cookie dough hearts enrobed in rich, semi-sweet chocolate—a delectable treat for cookie dough lovers, perfect for special occasions or just to indulge a sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 250g semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 ½ c.)
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
For the Cookie Dough:
- 90g all-purpose flour (¾ c.)
- ½ tsp. salt
- 85g unsalted butter, room temperature (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
- 110g light brown sugar (½ c.)
- 1 tbsp. milk
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 90g mini chocolate chips (½ c.)
Instructions:
- Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second spurts, ensuring you stir after each interval until smooth. Blend in the vegetable oil.
- Using a brush or spoon, coat your heart molds with the melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are covered. Place them in the freezer to firm up as you prepare the cookie dough.
- Cookie Dough:
- Heat Treat Flour: Spread the flour on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, checking the temperature until it reaches 165°C (74°C). For oven users, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake the flour until the desired temperature is attained. Once done, let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Using a stand mixer (with a paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, which should take around 3 minutes.
- Introduce the milk and vanilla to the mixture, blending until they’re fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the cooled flour and salt, ensuring not to overmix. Once nearly combined, introduce the mini chocolate chips, folding until evenly distributed.
- Retrieve the heart molds from the freezer. Spoon roughly 1 tablespoon of the cookie dough into each mold, pressing down to ensure it’s densely packed.
- Finish each mold with a layer of your melted chocolate, making sure the cookie dough is completely encased.
- Transfer the molds back to the freezer until they’re set and firm.
- Final Touch:
- Once set, gently demold the cookie dough hearts. For an added touch of elegance, drizzle with additional melted chocolate and sprinkle with rose petals (optional).
Serve immediately for a melt-in-your-mouth experience or store in a cool place for later indulgence. Enjoy this sweet expression of love!
