Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and caster sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the plain flour, combining until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1 cm thick.
  5. Using a cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes and place them on the baking tray.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.

  8. Once the shortbread hearts are cool, drizzle the melted chocolates over them and quickly add festive Valentine’s sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
