Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Beat the sunflower spread and sugar together until light and creamy then split evenly between 2 bowls, 100g in each
* Step 2
To one bowl, add the cocoa powder and 100g of the flour
* Step 3
To the other add the remaining flour
* Step 4
Mix each bowls ingredients into a dough and set one bowl aside
* Step 5
Flour a surface and roll or pat out one dough to a 1/2 cm thick
* Step 6
Using a 3.5cm heart shaped cutter, stamp out as many shapes as you can, re-rolling the dough as needed. You need an even number of hearts, I got 16
* Step 7
Clean and flour your surface again and roll out the second dough. Cut out the same number of shapes as you did the first time
* Step 8
Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lay the heart cut outs on them
* Step 9
Prick lightly all over with a fork and chill for 30 minutes in the fridge
* Step 10
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350°F
* Step 11
Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, let cool on the tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool
* Step 12
Make the buttercream by mixing the sunflower spread and icing sugar together until light and creamy and adding in the vanilla
* Step 13
Spread the chocolate hearts with buttercream and put a plain shortbread heart on top of each
* Step 14
These are so cute!! Turn half over so there are an even amount of each colour facing up
* Step 15
Mix the icing sugar and water to make a glaze that isn't thin but you can drizzle easily
* Step 16
Use a teaspoon to drizzle the white icing over the chocolate topped sandwiches. Add the cocoa to the leftover glaze and drizzle it over the plain topped cookies
* Step 17
Let the icing set, then serve
* Step 18
You can drizzle melted chocolate if you prefer
