Ingredients

1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

³/₄ cup sugar

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

1 teaspoon peppermint or vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

Glaze

1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to make

STEP 1

Combine all cookie ingredients except flour in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add flour; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 2

Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight until chilled.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 4

Roll out dough, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cutter. Place, 1 inch apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 7-10 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack; cool completely.
STEP 5

Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 4-6 minutes or until melted. Dip half of each heart into chocolate. Place onto waxed paper-lined cookie sheets; sprinkle with nonpareils, as desired. Refrigerate until chocolate is firm.
