TWD - Smoky Hearts


This week's Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Smoky Hearts, in reference to Valentine's Day in 9 days' time.  

These little biscuits gain smokiness from smoked paprika and smoked almonds peppering the dough, which perfectly complement the chocolate flavour from the cocoa.


The biscuits are cut into heart shapes for Valentine's Day, and Dorie found that they were popular with her male customers as treats for themselves.

I made a half batch but that made over 50 biscuits using a 1 1/2" cutter - plenty to go around.  These biscuits are truly delicious, so if you can retain the patience to cut out this many biscuits, it is well worth it.

I presented the biscuits on my kissing cockatoos' plate and decorated the plate with my Valentine's Sonny Angel and a kewpie to complement the spirit of these biscuits.

To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

I love smoky chocolate treats - so these sound great - I also got a smile at all the men buying themselves biscuits - just hope this wasn't instead of buying something for their partner on valentine's day

I am glad that you liked these. I have been hesitant with the savory cookies as there have been a few misses in my house.

These sound really good! I'm making something heart shaped but not a cookie!

Pepper and chocolate is a popular combination, but I haven't been able to get used to it. This looks like a clever version, though.
