PILLSBURY VALENTINE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Separate 1 package Pillsbury™ Ready to Bake!™ refrigerated chocolate chunk & chip cookies into 24 cookies; arrange 2 inches apart on ungreased large cookie sheet.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in microwavable bowl, microwave 1/2 cup chocolate chips on High, stirring every 30 seconds, until chips can be stirred smooth.
• Drizzle melted chocolate over baked cookies. Immediately sprinkle with 3 tablespoons Valentine nonpareils decorating decors.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, the butter, milk, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder and salt until well mixed, scraping bowl occasionally.
• Divide dough in half. To one half of dough, stir or knead in red food color until desired pink color. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Work with 1/3 of white dough at a time; keep remaining dough refrigerated. On lightly floured work surface, roll out white dough with rolling pin to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with floured 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped canapé or cookie cutter; place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with 1/3 of pink dough, keeping remaining pink dough refrigerated.
• Using floured 1-inch heart-shaped canapé or cookie cutter, cut center from each pink and white cookie. Remove centers; replace each center of cookie with cutout of opposite colored dough. Sprinkle with sugar.
