Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 package Refrigerated cookie dough or your favorite homemade recipe
Toppings and Decoration
- 1 bag Candy Melts (for dipping)
- ¼ cup Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie hearts.
- Fill Heart Molds: Firmly press the cookie dough into each heart-shaped cavity, filling about three-quarters full. Ensure the dough is tightly packed to maintain shape during baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the mold on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Cool Completely: Remove the mold from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before removing from the mold.
- Remove Cookie Hearts: Gently loosen the edges of each heart mold and pop out the cookies carefully; no greasing is needed as they come out easily.
- Prepare for Dipping: Pour sprinkles into a small bowl and lay out wax paper for the dipped cookies to rest on.
- Melt Candy Melts: Follow the package instructions to melt the candy melts until smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip half of each cookie heart into the melted candy, then immediately into the sprinkles. Place on the wax paper to allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- Using well-chilled cookie dough helps maintain the shape of the hearts during baking.
- Do not grease the molds, as the cookies release more easily without greasing.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping to prevent melting the candy melts.
- Customize the sprinkles or candy melts colors to fit different occasions.
