Valentine's Day Brownie Roll Out Cookies

Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, it's time for me to bake some scrumptious cookies for my boyfriend! Last year, I baked him some crunchy vanilla sugar cookies (which I considered baking them again this year), till I found the "Brownie Roll-Out Cookies" recipe from the Shutterbean blog on Pinterest. I scanned through the recipe and it seems doable! So I thought "why not bake this instead?" I'm always into simple yet delicious-sounding recipes as I'm not the best at baking. That's why I decided to bake this for this year's Valentine's Day. I figured I would share my slightly adapted recipe as well as how my version turns out to be! 

Here are the ingredients that you will need: 

For the cookies

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 2/3 cups unsweetened cocoa
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
• 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 
• 1 1/4 cups sugar 
• 2 large eggs 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate bar

For the topping

• 1 cup white chocolate bar 
• 2 teaspoon unsalted butter

Step 1 - Mix flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder all together in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2 - Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar until well-mixed. Add eggs one at a time. Pour in the vanilla extract. Gradually pour in the mixed dry ingredients. Put the dough in a container and cover it with a plastic wrap and let it chill for 2 hours.

Step 3 - Preheat the oven.

Step 4 - Roll out the dough on a counter to approximately 1/2 cm thickness. Cut the dough into heart shapes. Bake them on a parchment baking sheet for about 7 minutes. Take them out and let them chill for about 10 minutes.

Step 5 - Melt the white chocolate bar together with the unsalted butter. Put the mixture into a piping bag. Lightly drizzle the top of the cookies with the white chocolate mixture. Let it set for 5 minutes.

That's that! I personally prefer to not bake it for too long since I prefer it to be soft and moist. It is so simple yet it tastes stunningly delicious! I couldn't resist "tasting" a couple of them myself. I ended up making too much and decided to give away some of them. It's time to share some love anyways, right? :)
