Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter till mixture is all crumbly. Stir in the water and almond extract till dough comes together and forms a ball. (I used my hands.)
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 20-30 minutes. Roll dough out on a floured counter to about 1/4″ thick. Cut into heart shapes and place on ungreased cookie sheets. (I used my tiny cookie cutter, and I thought they turned out adorable!)
  • Bake at 325° for about 15 minutes or till edges are very lightly browned. Cool completely on cooling racks.
  • Place the chocolate in a glass bowl. Melt in the microwave at half power, stirring every 30 seconds.
  • Dip one side of each heart into melted chocolate. Place on silicone baking liners or waxed paper till set.
