Espresso Dark Chocolate Heart Cookies

Share the Recipe

Even though these cookies are very tender, they are stable enough to pack into gift boxes for that special teacher, co-worker, or loved one on Valentine’s Day. I found that these cookies also freeze well because I had to freeze half of them as I just couldn’t stop nibbling on them, and wanted to get them out of sight.
