As you may remember, my hubby's birthday is the day after Valentine's Day. So, when I went to make treats for him to take to his group meeting at work...I decided to do Valentine's themed ones. It's been one rough week here...but I wanted to do something special for him and his staff. So this is what I came up with. I also found the cutest most gigantic heart sprinkles (edible confetti actually) ever! :)
What you'll need:
Cookies:
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. Sugar
1/2 t. Salt
1 Egg
1/4 c. Water
1 c. Cocoa, (I did half black onyx and half Hershey)
1 t. Vanilla
1.5 c. Flour
Quick frosting:
1/4 c. Half and Half
2 T. Shortening
2 c. Powdered Sugar
1/2 t. Vanilla
Heart Sprinkles. The bigger the better! :)
For the cookies, just mix together everything and roll out like sugar cookies. I used a biscuit cutter to cut mine out. Then bake at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes each. Let cool.
For the frosting whip it all up together until creamy. If you want it thicker add more sugar, if you want it thinner add more half n half. :)
Then just frost each cookie and spread the love on top of them with sprinkles! Simple. Cute and yummy!
