Did you know they make dark chocolate cocoa powder? Well, I didn’t either…….color me surprised and delighted. First change ……dark cocoa powder. Add dark chocolate chips, keep the raspberries, adding a few more, and almonds. This recipe went from delicious to delectable!

So, here is the best part………..it took all of ten minutes to assemble, eight minutes to bake, and maybe five more minutes to decorate…….in less than twenty five minutes, you have a special heart shaped dark chocolate cookie for two! It will look like you spent all day on it! Don’t worry your secret is safe with me………

A couple of tips:

  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. It keeps the bottom from burning or sticking to the pan.
  • Draw or trace a heart shape onto the parchment paper as a guide to form the cookie.
  • Spray your finger tips with non stick spray so the dough doesn’t stick to your fingers
  • Under bake cookie just a touch…..they keep baking after you remove them from the oven.
  • Let the chocolate that you will put on the cookie cool slightly before placing the raspberries but don’t let it harden completely or they won’t stick.
  • To make drizzling the white chocolate on the top a snap, put a baggie in a glass or cup and push the top over the side of the cup to make an opening. Pour the melted chocolate in the baggie,snip off a corner, and drizzle away. Then just toss the bag…….easy!
