This one was super fun to make, delicious to eat, and adorable to set out.
Ingredients:
1 Cup (2 sticks) Butter, softened
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 package (3 ounces) Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
1 Cup White Chocolate Morsels
4 tablespoons Shortening
Directions:
Beat butter, sugar, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until light and fluffy. Add flour; beat until well blended. Divide dough in half; wrap each half in waxed paper and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out hearts with lightly floured 2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter. Place cutouts 1 inch apart on ungreesed cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Remove immediately to wire rack to cook completely.
Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 2 tables spoons of shortening in small saucepan over low heat 4-6 minutes or until melted. Dip half of each heart into melted chocolate, refrigerate on cookie sheets or waxed covered trays until chocolate is set. Repeat with white chocolate on opposite sides of the hearts.
Keep these cookies stored in the refridgerator so they do not melt.
Recipe makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
