Well, my big plans for Valentine’s Day have not gone to plan.

Hubby loves chocolate chip cookies, he’s the cookie monster around here that’s for sure. So I decided to put one of my Christmas presents to good use – 101 cookie cutters.

However….chocolate chip cookie dough just isn’t made for shapes I’m afraid :(. I chilled it in the fridge for about 30 mins but it was still to sticky, then I put it in the freezer. Ahem, yep not such a good idea, especially seeing as I got caught up doing something with DS and by the time I remembered to take it out it was almost frozen solid! So I let it rest on the counter for a little bit then tried to knead and roll it once it thawed a little. It wasn’t easy but I managed to cut a few heart shapes out before it became a sticky mess again. In the end I pressed the rest into a slice pan and popped them all in the oven.

Well, let me tell you what came out of the oven was not pretty. The heart shapes didn’t hold and just ended up as big blobs. The slice turned out fine though so I cut that up into squares. In order to try and salvage my Valentine’s Day present for hubby I cut the hearts out of the cooling blobs, some parts were quite crunchy, obviously the thinner parts but I still managed to crunch some shapes out of those parts

Here are the results….

Hubby loved them so I guess that’s all that matters isn’t it
