Chocolate Frosted Cookies

I'm feeling the love this week.  Valentine's Day is less than a week away and I've spend the last couple of afternoons trying to get Valentine treats ready to put in the mail.  With both kids away at school, I've tried to force myself to plan for holidays early to allow time for the care packages to be delivered.  Somehow though, I always end up scrambling to get holiday treats together and packing them into boxes while they're still hot so I can get them to the post office.

Valentine's Day baking is in full swing in my house this week.  Everything and anything that lands on my counter this week, will eventually get covered in chocolate and dusted with heart shaped sprinkles.  

These chocolate frosted cookies are the perfect decadent treat for Valentine's Day.  The chocolate frosting is so rich and decadent and is the perfect compliment to the crumbly shortbread cookie.

Press balls with moistened fingers to create a 2" diameter disk.  
Bake 8-10 minutes at 350.  Let cool completely on baking sheet.

Spoon 2 T. frosting on the flat side of each cookie. Let cookies to sit at room temperature for 3 hours to allow frosting to set.  ​

Dressing these cookies up for Valentine's Day is easy.  A few juicy red raspberries or some heart sprinkles can really transform these cookies into a Valentine's Day delight.

Just in case you were curious (Or you're one of my children who are expecting a care package) these cookies are NOT going to be in the Valentine boxes.  I wasn't sure exactly how to pack these in the mail so kiddos - if you want to sample these cookies - you're going to have to come home.  :)

Ciao!
