Valentine's Day

This year I told myself I have to do it. I wanted to bake gifts for my colleagues as surprise last year, but unfortunately didn't get to do it. So I made the preparations early, mixed the dough and froze them so that I can have time to do decorations. As by the time I reach home, finish dinner and start it will be after 8.30pm.

So I came across a cocoa/peanut butter cookie recipe in Su Yin's web and decided to try it. Since I have a black cookie, I wanted a white one and was finding for simple tried butter biscuits recipe. But again didn't have so ended up using the recipe behind the heart cookie cutter I bought.

So my plan was to roll out the white dough and cut a big heart. So each person gets a big personalised heart and black cookie. Unfortunately things went wrong. I cut out the white dough and baked it, while waiting, rolled out the black dough. Was trying my best to wrap the cookie with peanut butter. After a few ugly ones I gave up. Cos the dough was very soft and cracked when I tried to seal, some exploding and revealing the peanut butter. As I am not so highly genius in baking yet, wasn't sure how to make the dough more manageable. Okay will think of something later. Went to check my big white heart.......... . It was okay but I guess I did not cream till the sugar dissolved. So it resulted in a rather hard and SWEET cookie. Though my kids loved it, too sweet if I am gonna ice it. So have to repair. But how?

Back to the table. I rolled out my black dough, used the small hearts to cut out. Time was running, I need to work fast. Tried to repair the white dough, still couldn't get the taste I am looking for. That's it! Back to the freezer witht the peanut butter filling. Will have to think of something and do it during the weekend.

So the final result was, mini peanut butter/cocoa hearts. I sooo like the texture of this one. Like melt in the mouth kind.

Unfortunately cannot see the biscuits I made.....hehehe
