Feel like baking for your loved ones but don't have a lot of time? These love heart shortbreads are the perfect bake for you! Get the family involved in covering them with glorious melted chocolate, a fun bake for the entire family!
All you need is 4 simple ingredients and 20 minutes to create the perfect treat for your entire family! The perfect ending to a date night or galantine meet up, I am positive that anyone will love these treats.
Now the recipe says to use plain flour, but it also works with rice flour to! The chocolate that you choose is down to personal preference, I prefer to mix milk and dark chocolate on the top of mine as I like the slight colour contrast but you can use whatever you have on hand and/or prefer.
The shortbread is made from 3 simple ingredients which you probably already have in your house! Get creative with cutting it out and decorating them too!
The shortbread melts in the mouth and is covered by a silky smooth choclate which cuts through the biscuit and is super sweet and delicious!
There are no eggs in this one, so all you would need to swap to make this vegan and/or dairy free is the butter and choclate! I have not tried swapping the butter but give it a go and let me know how it goes!
This one is perfect to do with family and friends as there is minimal time needed but you can have so much fun inventing new patterns and shapes to make your shortbread super special!

SO HERES THE RECIPE...
INDREDIENTS
190g gf plain flour
125g butter
55g caster sugar
100g milk/dark choclate
20g white/milk/dark chocolate (optional)
sprinkles (optional)
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 150 fan, grease and line a large baking tray with baking paper
Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth
Sieve in the flour and zanthem gum and mix well
Roll the dough onto a floured work surface until thin (if you want thicker shortbread you can roll it so that it is a little bit thicker) and cut into shapes using pastry cutters, a knife or the rim of a mug. Re roll out the scrapes of pastry until it is all cut out and placed on your large baking tray
Place the shortbread in the oven for 10 minutes or until they begin to turn golden- keep an eye on them as they can burn easily.
Once cooked remove the shortbread from the oven and leave to cool on the tray for ten minutes, and then remove from the tray and leave to cool completely on a flat surface
Once cool melt your chocolate either in the microwave mixing every 30 seconds or in a heat proof bowl over a pan of boiling water on the hob. Repeat this for your other chocolate if using.
Decorate with your chosen chocolate and sprinkles!
Leave to set in the fridge until the chocolate is hard (if you struggle to get it off the plate once in the fridge, take a small metal spatula or knife and lightly push at the edges were the chocolate is stuck and it should come of) and enjoy!
