Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Sifted All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Butter
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 6-⅜ ounces, weight Semisweet Chocolate

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F with the rack in the middle of the oven.

Whisk the flour with the salt in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.

Next beat the the butter until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth (about 2 minutes). Combine the wet and the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for one hour or until easy to handle.

On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin. Using the heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 25 cookies.

Place cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.

Next place cookies on a greased baking sheet and bake 10 minutes until light golden. Let cool.

After that melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Once chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat. Taking one cookie at a time, dip one end of each cookie in the melted chocolate and place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once chocolate has set, transfer cookies to cooling rack to dry thoroughly.

Serve and enjoy.
