    Ingredients

    • Cookie Ingredients:
    • 1 cup butter, softened
    • 1 (3 oz) bar cream cheese, softened
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp peppermint extract (or substitute flavor of your choice).
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • Glaze Ingredients:
    • 1 (12 oz) bag real semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 2 tbsp shortening

    Directions

    1. Combine all cookie ingredients except flour in a bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat on low speed until well mixed.
    2. Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight until chilled.
    3. Preheat oven to 375° F.
    4. Roll out dough, half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with a (2-1/2-inch) heart-shaped cutter. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack; cool completely.
    5. Melt chocolate and shortening in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 4-6 minutes or until melted. Dip half of each heart into chocolate. Place onto waxed paper-lined cookie sheets; refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Store refrigerated.
