Ingredients (with quantities):
Instructions:
👨🍳 1) In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and corn-starch. Whisk together until well combined.
👨🍳 2) In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cubed butter and caster sugar for a couple of minutes until creamed and fluffy.
👨🍳 3) Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and continue to beat for another 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through.
👨🍳 4) Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the mixer on low speed until a dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
👨🍳 5) Once the dough is formed, remove it from the mixer and knead it for a couple of minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
👨🍳 6) Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a disc. Wrap the discs tightly in plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
👨🍳 7) Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
👨🍳 8) After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
👨🍳 9) Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
👨🍳 10) Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly firm.
👨🍳 11) Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
👨🍳 12) Once cooled, decorate the cookies with icing, sprinkles, or melted chocolate as desired.
👨🍳 13) Serve and enjoy these decadent Valentine Chocolate Sugar Cookies with your loved ones!
