My friend came over and we made these gourmet chocolate cookies that are TO DIE for, they are dipped in an awesome semi-sweet chocolate sauce and you can personalize the sprinkles to whatever suits the eye (I did purple).

Makes: 12 cookies

Chocolate Dough

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1/3 cup of cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

1/4 teaspoon of salt

Chocolate Frosting

4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

4 ounces milk chocolate

Confectioners Sugar

a splash of milk

In a mixer bowl, cream butter and both sugars. Add the vanilla; then fold in flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (optional), and salt and blend well to make a soft dough. Pack onto parchment paper; wrap and chill about 30 to 45 minutes (or up to few days).

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out chilled dough on a well-floured work surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into heart shapes of about 3 to 3 1/2 inches. Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheet.

Bake until done, 15-17 minutes, and let it cool completely (it may seem too soft at first).

On the Double Broiler, put in the chocolate, the milk, and the confectioners sugar. Let it cool alongside the cookies (probably an hour or two).

To assemble, smear the frosting on the cookie and add your personalized sprinkles.
