Chocolate and Valentine's Day go together like...
Kittens and Cuddles?
Sunday and Sports?
Chips and Dip?

ok, they go together like Hearts and Flowers:@)
I found the over-sized candy heart decorations at Michaels, I've also seen a red/pink/white combo.
They'll be adorable for gingerbread men at Christmas too-yep, I do try to think ahead.

Chocolate Spritz Cookies
1 C butter softened
2/3 C sugar
1 egg, large
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 C A/P flour
1/3 C unsweetened cocoa (of the store brands, I prefer Hershey's-just this reporter's opinion)
1/2 tsp salt
- Cream butter/shortening, sugar, egg and vanilla till light and fluffy.
- Add dry (I sift mine together) to wet, mix well. This will be a thick dough but kind of sticky. I did the last bit of mixing by hand.
- Use cookie press on cool, ungreased, not non-stick, light colored cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350 for 5 minutes (or till desired firmness/color, mine take about 10 minutes).
- Cool and enjoy!
This is the cookie press I'm currently using, they can be found at Marshall's, TJ Maxx, etc.
Have a happy day:@)

So cute! Love the jello frosted cupcakes, too. Kids would just love those. Hope you're having a great Sunday.
I still have my cookie press handy. This looks like a winner!!
I don't have a cookie press but I think one is needed so these pretty little cookies can be served at my house. I have the heart shaped plate so I'm half way there. Doggies can't have chocolate. Is Earl allowed some?-------Shannon

These are so cute! Yummy too.
I always make Spritz cookies for Christmas, but never for Valentines. You are a genius and your cookies are adorable!
There would only be one thing better than a Spritz cookie and that's a chocolate Spritz cookie! These are adorable.
Such pretty and delicious looking cookies! Pretty for Valentine's for sure!

I have to see if my machine has a heart!
They look great, L! May I have 2? no, 3!
I don't have a cookie press, but these are darling!
How cute are those? Love the little candy hearts too. I just may have to make up some of these!
Wow, I just found my cookie press the other day. I thought I gave it to my daughter at Christmas time. Nope, it was in the garage??? the valentine cookies are cute with the added decorations.
Hugs, Jeanne
I skipped making cookies lately due to a diet ... but once that is over I'm ready for chocolate sprtiz! YUM!
I love cookie baking. It's the SINGLE kitcheny thing I like to do. I don't, surprisingly, have a cookie press.
Need to rectify that...
Oh, I love those little hearts. My mom used to make them every Valentine's Day. One of these days I'm going to get a cookie press.
Adorable cookies and perfect for the ones we love :)
I'm not sure I have a heart shaped one, but I'm off to find out. What's better than chocolate for Valentine's Day.
Thanks! I never think of Spritz except at Christmas time, but the hearts are perfect for Valentine's Day. So pretty!
Hi Lynn,
It is so good to see Earl! I just love your Valentine cookies, they look yummy and are precious for the day. Hope you are having a wonderful week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
