    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.
