Chocolate Heart Sugar Cookies Recipe

Over the weekend I bought way too much Valentine's candy, so to make sure I didn't eat all the candy up by myself, I decided to make Chocolate Heart Sugar Cookies.

They're basically sugar cookies (I used this recipe from Allrecipes.com) with a heart candy stuck in the middle.

Easy!

 I also made some rolled in sprinkles in the spirit of Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!
