Vickys Valentine Chocolate Shortbread Hearts, GF DF EF SF NF instructions
- Beat the sunflower spread and sugar together until light and creamy then split evenly between 2 bowls, 100g in each.
- To one bowl, add the cocoa powder and 100g of the flour.
- To the other add the remaining flour.
- Mix each bowls ingredients into a dough and set one bowl aside.
- Flour a surface and roll or pat out one dough to a 1/2 cm thick.
- Using a 3.5cm heart shaped cutter, stamp out as many shapes as you can, re-rolling the dough as needed. You need an even number of hearts, I got 16.
- Clean and flour your surface again and roll out the second dough. Cut out the same number of shapes as you did the first time.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lay the heart cut outs on them.
- Prick lightly all over with a fork and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F.
- Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, let cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Make the buttercream by mixing the sunflower spread and icing sugar together until light and creamy and adding in the vanilla.
- Spread the chocolate hearts with buttercream and put a plain shortbread heart on top of each.
- These are so cute!! Turn half over so there are an even amount of each colour facing up.
- Mix the icing sugar and water to make a glaze that isn't thin but you can drizzle easily.
- Use a teaspoon to drizzle the white icing over the chocolate topped sandwiches. Add the cocoa to the leftover glaze and drizzle it over the plain topped cookies.
- Let the icing set, then serve.
- You can drizzle melted chocolate if you prefer.
A fond childhood memory is going to my grannies house after school and getting a slice of ginger cake, thickly spread with butter to eat as I went on my way home. Our vision is to be the global leader in pancake & waffle mix by inspiring family values and traditions.
