Chocolate Orange Love Heart Biscuits are buttery shortbread cookies infused with orange zest and dipped in dark chocolate. Made with a cookie press, these delicious cookies are sure to melt anyone’s heart on Valentine’s Day!

Chocolate Orange Love Heart Biscuits - Fab Food 4 All

Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us, so to mark the occasion, I thought it would be nice to come up with a recipe that you can make to share with your loved one or the whole family.

Better still, get the kids involved with some mixing and chocolate dipping.

Nothing says “I love you” more than a handmade gift or some home-baked goodies!

These Chocolate Orange Love Heart Biscuits are perfect to serve after a romantic meal with a cup of coffee (or in my case, tea), or why not serve them with ice cream for that extra special touch?

When my daughter got home from school, I gave her a biscuit and her verdict was “I could eat all of these, the chocolate goes really well with the orange flavour”!

My hubby and son also sang their praises. It’s a good job the recipe makes about 52 biscuits, as they keep really well, so you can enjoy them long after Valentine’s Day!

You will need a cookie press to make these biscuits. You can read more about the Oxo Cookie Press and another of my cookie recipes, Danish Vanilla Wreath, here. 

This biscuit dough is perfectly suited to the cookie press, as there were no mishaps and all the heart shapes formed perfectly!

Instructions

    I have always loved chocolate with orange, a lovely cookie idea and I bet they smell amazing when cooking. Dipping them in chocolate is an added bonus, they would disappear very quickly in our house!

    I do like a nice citrus biscuit, though I am guilty of ignoring them in favour of a chocolate or peanut butter cookie. These look a nice thin buttery biscuit 🙂
