Valentine’s Day is all about the love. What better way to show your love for your friends and family than with heart shaped cookies?

Valentine’s Day Frosted Chocolate Heart Cookies Recipe
With all of the allergies today, I know that many schools only allow pre-packaged treats for school functions. If that’s the case in your school, no worries – these chocolate heart cookies make great gifts for your loved ones too, or just a fun treat for your family at home on Valentine’s Day!
I love chocolate almost as much as I love cookies, so this frosted chocolate hearts cookies recipe is pretty much the perfect combination for me! The frosting adds a sweet – and pretty – touch that will excite the kids. All kids love frosting, right?
You can even make the cookies yourself and set them out for the kids to frost and decorate on their own as a fun after school activity. The kids will be so excited to help make their own after school treat!
What better way to celebrate a day all about love with your family than by making a sweet treat together?

My daughter saw this and wants to try it! Thanks for the idea it looks like fun.
This is adorable, I have to make one with my son. He would love these!
Chocolate, cookies, frosting…yum, yes please!
I really don’t do much for Valentine’s Day, but maybe I will do a little baking this year. This is a really cute (and delicious) recipe!
I love simple, easy recipes like this! The cookies are beautiful and they are 100% kid friendly. You’re right — perfect for a class party! Pinned!
Hi, such a cute make, my boys would love these. But I’m not sure how much frosting would make it onto the cookies.
It’s so beautiful… and your photos are stunning too!
What a fun and delicious treat! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
I love that these are chocolate flavor, and love the pink colored frosting, I would add some cinnamon hearts to outline the heart on the frosting. or make a mini heart shape using them.
Congratulations! Your heart cookies have been featured at our Simple Supper Tuesday Linky Party at Moore or Less Cooking!!
