Recipe: Chocolate Valentine’s Day Cookies

Chocolate Valentine’s Day cookies are here – just in time to celebrate this weekend. These gluten free chocolate cookies are rolled in festive pink sprinkles to show the love. Okay, let’s bake up!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of salted butter
• 1/4 cup of white sugar
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/3 cup of coco powder
• 1 cup of gluten free flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• sprinkles

First, gather all of your ingredients and then cream the sugars and butter together. Set the oven to 350 degrees.

Add in the egg and vanilla. While that’s mixing, sift the coco powder, flour, baking soda and salt together. Then mix in with the creamed sugars.

Mix well. Roll into 1 inch balls and then roll in sprinkles.

Lay out on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.

This recipe makes about 16 -20 cookies, depending on how big you roll them.

Done! Don’t they just look so good?

They cake-like cookies with some added richness. The perfect sweet treat for your sweetie!

I got these sprinkles from Bulk Barn. They are the best place since you can mix and match all sorts of sprinkles. The ones with blue, purple and bright pink in them are called unicorn sprinkles. Isn’t that just the best name? So much fun – check them out the next time you’re out and about.

Well – thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating love, or whatever your heart desires. Here in Alberta it’s a long weekend with Family Day on Monday, so it’s a special bonus. Sleep in time here we come!

Oh, and a bit of cookie eating. Yes, sounds like a great weekend. Hope these Chocolate Valentine’s Day cookies help you celebrate your weekend in a festive and fun way. See you again soon.
