Love Hearts
The perfect love hearts recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 250 g Butter at room temperature
- 150 g Sifted powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 Egg yolk
- 400 g Flour
- 15 g Cocoa
- 1 Protein
- Food coloring red
- 1 tbsp Water
- Beat the butter, powdered sugar and a pinch of salt with the paddle of the hand mixer until creamy. Stir in the egg yolks one after the other and whip again vigorously. Then gradually work in the flour with the dough hook until a crumbly mass is formed. Weigh and share them. Place one half on the work surface and knead into a smooth, elastic dough with your hands. Divide the second half again and add the cocoa and egg white to one and the food coloring and water to the other. Knead both separately again with the dough hook and then knead smoothly with your hands on the work surface.
- Now first cut the larger portion of the light-colored dough in half and roll out each half between 2 layers of baking paper, 4 mm thin. Then roll out the dark and red portions in the same way. (But don’t share them). So you have 2 light, 1 dark and one red sheet of dough. Place this on a firm, smooth surface and place in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes.
- To cut out 1 light-colored and one of the colored dough sheets from the refrigerator, remove the top paper and cut out small hearts from both of them. The number of both plates must be the same. Then insert the colored hearts into the bright plate and the bright ones into the brightly colored. Then put the baking paper on top again and roll it over the plates with light pressure so that the doughs stick together.
- Then cut out the “love hearts” from both plates with a large heart cutter and place them on the baking sheet lined with baking paper with a little space between them.
- Preheat the oven to 180 °. The baking time is 8 – 10 minutes on the 2nd rail from the bottom. Then slide onto a grid including baking paper and allow to cool.
- Knead the remnants of the dough from the individual plates again very lightly separately, roll out about 5 mm thin and cut out hearts with the large cookie cutter. You then have a marbled look.
- Give the hearts away, put them down for your dear colleagues to snack on or ………… simply celebrate Valentine’s Day yourself ……… ;-)))
- The number of people mentioned above resulted in 5 trays.
