Something sweet, crunchy and full of a whole lotta Love, Valentine's Cookie Recipe

It's the month of love and I am proud to say that I am such a sucker for Valentine's Day! Yes I know that you should show your other half love all year round and I do but there's just something about the supermarkets covered in hearts and loved up couples buying each other soppy cards that puts a massive smile on my face!

I had to take advantage of my new Heart shaped cookie cutters from Curated Stories so I whipped up these double chocolate chip, cranberry cookies!

Ingredients

150g of plain flour

25g cocoa powder

1/4 tsp of baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp Vanilla

30g milk

30g unsalted butter

50g white chocolate chips

150g milk chocolate chips

50g dried raspberries or cranberries

Icing - optional

icing powder

food colouring of your choice

water

Super simple way of making these scrumptious cookies. Add all of your dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Mix together all of your wet ingredients in a separate bowl and once it's all mixed in add it to your bowl of dry ingredients. Throw in your chocolate chips and mix in some fruit if you'd like - I added dried cranberries into mine and it added a nice chewiness to the cookie.

Set your oven to 160 fan, line your tray with baking paper or greaseproof paper and then this is the fun part, put your dough onto the tray and spread it out as much as you can so you're making one big cookie. Put it in the oven for about 15-18 minutes, longer if you'd prefer a crunchier cookie and leave it to one side to cool.

Get your cutters of choice, like I said I'm googly eyed for hearts right now and start cutting away, I went for three different sizes to get the most out of the giant cookie. You can easily leave them how they are or you can drizzle them with some icing like I did just to add a little more sugar!

Grab a cuppa (or a gin, no judgement here), get your loved one and feast on these delicious cookies. Netflix and chill away - whatever way you want to! 

Have a great Valentines Day when it comes!
