Ingredients
100 g soft butter
90 g Caster Sugar - Siúcra or McKinney
70 g Light Syrup
120 g wheat flour
2½ tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
Beat butter, sugar, and syrup well together. Then mix flour, cocoa, vanilla sugar, and baking powder together and sift it into the mixture.
Beat until it crumbles and then gather the dough with your hands.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius (fan).
Roll out the dough thinly between two pieces of baking paper, place it on a baking sheet, and remove the top piece of baking paper.
Bake the dough for 12-15 minutes, let it cool slightly, and cut hearts with a heart-shaped cutter. Then place the hearts on a rack and let them cool completely.
Decorate the hearts and store them in an airtight container.
