Valentine’s Day Chocolate Hearts Recipe
It’s been barely a few days since I shared with you my Red Velvet Truffles . If you read my post then you know that I was determined, this year I want to make changes and I won’t make heart shaped Valentine’s treats like I did a last few years. But, never say never… I also still can’t stay away from the fatty and sugary but oh-so-deliciously peanut butter cheesecake, so who can tell what the future holds!
You may have read it, but obviously my dear hubby didn’t. When he had arrived from work yesterday, so proudly handed me a small package . It was a set of heart shape cookie cutters in different sizes. He said that was a little early Valentine’s gift. He had already learned that food bloggers make Christmas recipes for Halloween, and after Christmas and New Year we start baking Valentine’s desserts. So he assumed that I’ll need these cookie cutters . I did not want to disappoint him so I had to try them immediately. Finally, I really have to appreciate his good intentions, you must admit that rarely any husband would bought kitchen supplies.
Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
And here I am again, going back to the good old hearts…but I have a good excuse. I wanted to return the love to my husband and decided to make him one of his favorite treats.
If you are wondering what does this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles have to do with heart shaped cookie cutter here’s the answers.
Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
I used recipe for popular cookie dough bars that you’ve already seen on many blogs, but I made a little twist. I didn’t make the classic bars. And I used my new cookie cutters to cut off the hearts and than dipped them into the melted chocolate. I haven’t use my gift to bake good old cookies, because my husband is one of many who rather steal raw cookie dough than eat baked cookies. Whenever I bake cookies, especially those with chocolate chips he always seems to find something to do in the kitchen and while I turn around he managed to steal some cookie dough .Well, now he will get the whole portion for itself.
My husband didn’t even imagine what yummy surprised was waiting for him inside these irresistible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. He probably thought that’s Oreo truffles or something like that. You can’t imagine how happy he was when take a first bite and find out that peanut butter cookie dough overloaded with chocolate chips was hidden inside crispy chocolate shell.

I would love to make these for my grandchildren but can’t use peanut butter because of a peanut allergy. Substitution for peanut butter ideas?
Hi Tricie, just skip the peanut butter.
there is also something like peanut butter but its not it is called wow butter for tricie
Why not use “Wowbutter” or another equivalent? It’s a peanut butter substitute, they’re often made with sunflower seeds or soybeans. It’s a very similar taste and can be substituted for peanut butter in basically any recipe.
Also, the fields for entering in information have a spelling error (in the name and email fields). They currently read “Name (requiered)*” and “Mail (requiered – will not be published)*”, but they ought to read “Name (required)*” and “Mail (required – will not be published)*”, with required being corrected. Cheers!
sunbutter can be used as a substitute for peanut butter. It is made from sunflower seeds and is completely nut free and tastes great. Soy butter could also be used, though I do not like the taste or texture of soy butter.
Try Sun Butter instead of Peanut butter. It is made from sunflower seeds.
I have a nut allergy so I substitute with sunbutter in all recipes that call for nut butters
walmart carries a peanut free peanut butter it is called WOW BUTTER its great.
Soy butter works great
Our son has a peanut allergy and we substitute all peanut butter with sunflower butter. It’s the same as peanut butter, just made with sunflower seeds instead of peanuts. Sun Butter is a good brand.

Almond butter, Nutella, Cashew butter, cream cheese
Do you have to use peanut butter. If you don’t what do you add instead. Some people can not have peanut butter. Thank you
Hi Carolyn, you just omit the peanut butter.
You can use sun butter for an alternative ! A lot of child care centers have that for children with peanut allergies. It’s as thick as peanut butter so it should work well!
Can u just use regular choco. Chip cookie dough?
Hi Vanessa, I tried only this way, so I can’t help, sorry.
To vanessa asking if you can use regular cookie dough.. If you can find a cookie dough that’s egg free you could use that. These are no bake so I wouldn’t recommend using regular cookie dough. It would make it a lot easier that way!
★★★★★
You can use regular cookie recipe. Use 1/2 cup water in place of eggs.
★★★★★
Regular cookie dough contains eggs. Not good for unbaked truffles, don’t want to give your sweeties salmonella!
Store bought usually has egg, which is why they do not suggest eating it raw. So I would say no. However, this recipe has no egg which makes it safe to eat without cooking.
I hate to be this person considering I’ve eaten raw cookie dough since I was a kid but aren’t we supposed to stay away from raw flour as well?
Re regular cookie dough. Because of the possibility of salmonella poisoning from raw eggs, it would not be advisable to use regular cookie dough since these are not baked.
Raw cookie dough would have the same results though since raw cookie dough has eggs in it it should not be consumed before cooking. Raw eggs can contain some serious bacteria. Especially if they are a gift for a special little someone
Is there anything that can be changed by condensed milk? Can i use less of normal milk? Thanks!
★★★★★
Ohhhh I am so making these! love anything chocolate dipped, can’t wait!
I have a son in college. Do you think these would do ok if I mailed them? He was my cookie dough snatcher and would love this let alone a package of love ❤ from mom.
Hi Lisa, these should be kept in the fridge, so I won’t recommend mailing, but you can try.
Maybe, I missed it, but, how many hearts does this recipe make? Thanks!
Hi Gayle, it depends on the size of your cookie cutter.
Wowbutter is a fantastic substitute for peanut butter…this is always what I use instead…even tastes better…available at walmart and other grocery stores….there are also other soy butter options as well as sunbutter….yummy stuff….
I didn’t think it was safe to eat raw cookie dough. Is it safe?
Hi Martha, it’s safe, these dough has no eggs.
But what about flour? It is also raw. I just want to make sure before I make.
Are these not baked?
Hi Adrienne, these are not baked.
For those requesting what to use instead of peanut butter; instead of omitting it altogether, would almond butter be an acceptable substitute? Assuming the allergy is to peanuts and not just a general nut allergy. Looks great!
★★★★★
No need to bake? The flour is not cook?
Hi Tess, these are not baked. Many people just love to eat raw cookie dough 🙂
Do you think soy nut butter could be substituted for the peanut butter? We have a peanut allergy in our house. These sound delicious!
Hi Amber, I haven’t tried it but you could if you want. You could also just omit the peanut butter.
They say now days not to eat raw cookie dough because of salmonella and such, are these safe because of no eggs??
Hi Katherine, yes this is safe because it doesn’t have eggs in the mixture.
About what size was your cutter? How many did it make for you?
Hi Laurie, I made a few larger hearts about 2 inch, and more than 20 small 1 1/2 inch hearts.
Does it have to stay refrigerated?
Hi Laura, yes you should keep them in the fridge.
Didn’t think people were suppose to eat raw cookie dough
Paula Trice-Did you not even read the recipe?? It doesn’t mention store bought cookie dough which is unsafe raw, this recipe doesn’t have that. Maybe if you read you would be able to find out..
★★★★
These don’t have eggs so they are safe.
Looks AMAZING, great idea and I can’t wait to try these!! What about storage and refrigeration after they’ve been chocolate coated? Can they be frozen?
Hi Kelli, I think you could freeze them, but I haven’t tried.
Can I use Graham crush instead of all purpose flour?
Hi Sue,you could do that.
Could the flour be substituted with oat or something else? I just can’t with the idea of eating uncooked flour, I believe you when you say is not harmful but it’s still kind of hard to change a lifetime thought
Hi Lupita,you could try with graham cracker crumbs.
I have a cookie dough recipe that doesn’t use eggs and would be great for this
★★★★★
Found this and saved it because I thought it looked like something that would be fun to try sometime, never knowing how soon. I am helping with a baby shower this weekend and I am going to try these but using white chocolate chips, no peanut butter, cutting out rubber duck shapes, and dipping in yellow candy melts. Also will be coloring the dough pink. Hope they turn out like I hope. Thanks for the recipe.
HI Janice, it sounds so fun,I hope it will turn out great 🙂
The dough is so sticky even after chilled Its unmanageable!!Suggestions please!
YES! I made these tonight and had the same problem! I ended up with egg shapes instead of hearts, haha!
I also had this problem, I was making them for Valentine’s Day an couple weeks about and ended up just making balls and decorating with red and gold sprinkles?
Use cooking spray on your cookie cutters. Or you can partially freeze them
I live in turkey, can’t find condensed milk, any suggestion please? X
SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK SUBSTITUTE
2 eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix all ingredients and use as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk in recipes for pies, bars and desserts.
http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/homemade-sweetened-condensed-milk/
Xiu’s suggestion would probably be okay in baked goods, but these are raw, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
Use almond butter instead of peanut butter
How can you eat flour that hasn’t been baked? What can u substitute for the condensed milk? Soy or Almond milk unflavored?
Thanks
i now see the substitute for “milk” but raw eggs without any heat? That scares me!
Hi Carol, sweetened condensed milk is thicker than soy or almond milk, and it gives sweetness and hold batter together
To make your own sweetened condensed milk: http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/homemade-sweetened-condensed-milk/
3 options
Whole milk, evaporated milk, or coconut milk (non-dairy option)
My kids, husband loved these. I was a bit frustrated with cutting the shapes but I didn’t let the dough set long enough in the fridge. It needs to set for quite a while to make cutting the shapes easy. My kids also thought it had too many chocolate chips so next batch I will use less. Overall these were tasty,,,,and addivtive 🙂
★★★★
For the 1 cup of mini morsels. Do you use Milk choc. or Semi-sweet?
Hi Shelly, I used semi-sweet, but if you are not a big fun of dark chocolate, better use milk choc. or combine half of both.
How long do I leave the cookie dough in the fridge to chill before taking it out?
Hi Elaine, chill the dough until it’s firm to touch, about two hour.
When you dip these in the chocolate and transfer to the parchment paper, do you place them chocolate side down, or do you flip them to harden? Also, will the chocolate be smooth as shown in the photos, or will there be marks from the prongs of the fork? Would it be better for a mediocre baker to just dip the entire truffle to avoid messing these little beauties up?
Hi Theressa, you should dip the entire truffle.
What is the yield on this recipe? Assume my hearts are no more than 2 inches in diameter. A ballpark number would be fine. I am making these this weekend. Thanks.
mine were smaller than 2′ and a ballpark it made about 15+
How many does this make?
The 7oz. Sweetened condensed milk is a weight not a volume. The amount needed is 1/2 of a 14 oz can. The can is 14 oz net wt. All other ingredients are volumes. This is why some people are getting sticky dough. Using 7 oz by volume (measuring it out) is way too much!!

Is it safe to eat unbaked cookie dough?
Hi Lori, it is safe, there’s no egg in this recipe, only raw egg can cause a problem 🙂
The latest New York Times article about the danger of eating raw cookie dough:
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/dont-eat-raw-dough-f-d-a-cautions/
The FDA statement:
http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm508450.htm
According to the New York Times:
One study that looked at commercial wheat flour samples found almost 13 percent contaminated with E. coli. The investigators also pointed out that wheat flour can also be contaminated with Salmonella, and that flour-based mixes have previously been implicated in outbreaks of food-borne illness. Nestlé has also started sterilizing the flour it was in its raw chocolate chip cookie dough that it was selling because people were eating it raw and a very few were getting sick.
In 2016 CNBC recommended that we should stop eating raw cookie dough because of E-coli in flour. They also suggested that your children should not do raw flour crafts….

Tried out the recipe and the cookie dough was too sticky, so I added more flour, but it still wouldn’t hold its form. Even leaving it in the freezer didn’t help. I did continue on, and the truffles taste good! They’re just super messy and sticky
HI melanie, I’m sorry to hear that, i don’t know what went wrong.
I made these last night! The chocolate kept getting hard as I was dipping, why would that happen?
Hi Debbi,it’s because the hearts were cold, next time reheat the chocolate from time to time if that happens.

I find that it wasn’t enough chocolate chips for dipping and when you froze them they aren’t frozen enough. They crumbled when I would try to dip them and the chocolate chips were too thick when trying to dip the cookie. I Am very disappointed in this recipe and wish I had never tried it. I wasted my ingredients on this ???
I’m really sorry about that.

Hi. So I’ve made a lot of truffles before. With the size of heart cookie cutters I’m using, I think it would be easier to pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough. How did you melt your chocolate chips? In the microwave or a double boiler? What can you use if the chocolate becomes too thick? how do you keep the chocolate from getting too thick when you’re melting it? Also can you spray cooking spray on the parchment paper before spreading out the cookie dough on it?
Hi Meredith, you can melt the chocolate either way. Use the method that works better for you. If the chocolate becomes too thick and hard to work with just reheat it. There’s no need to spray the paper.
How many does it make?
Hi Shawn,
I toasted the flour in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F, doubled the recipe, used a 9×13 Pyrex dish and the heart shaped cookie cutter is a little big. I was able to get six hearts out of the dough. I collected the scraps of cookie dough, rolled them up into a ball and pressed them back into the pan and was able to get two more hearts.

Recipe turned out really well and no issues as mentioned from others. I refrigerated overnight since I didn’t have time the same day as making the dough (it’s now a concern to eat raw flour, however, too!). I’m making these for a bridal shower, and am wondering how long they last in the refrigerator? I’m hoping 5 days is okay. I used white choc; they look beautiful!
