These were so simple an so nice but because I used normal cocoa powder not unsweetened, I think that it overpowered the red food colouring though and so I added extra food colouring. I would recommend that you don't do this as the biscuits did have a bit of a weird food colouring taste but, it was barely taste-able...unless you knew it was there. Hope you enjoy...

Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted{I used 2tbsp unsalted and 6tbsp of Clover Marg melted}
-1/3 / 130gcup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling {For double: 2/3 cup or 260g}
-1 large egg yolk {For double 2 large egg yolks}
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract {For double 1 whole teaspoon]
-1 teaspoon red gel food colouring {For double 2 teaspoons}
-1/2 cup / 50g + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour {For double 1cup + 2tbsp or 100g + 2tbsp}
-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder {for double 4tbsp} {Also, I used sweetened cocoa powder}
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda {For double 1/2tsp}
-1/8 teaspoon fine salt {For double 1/4 tsp}
-6 white chocolate peanut butter hearts (like Reese's){I used milk chocolate stars}{For double 12}
Method:
1:Preheat the oven to 350℉/175℃/155℃ fan/Gas 4, and line a
small baking sheet with parchment paper (or use a silicone mat).{Line a
normal sized baking tray with baking paper}
2:Stir together the melted butter, sugar, egg yolk, vanilla extract and red food colouring. Stir very well to combine.
3:Next, sprinkle the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and
salt evenly over the dough, and stir just to combine. {I sieved it over
the bowl so that it would be fine and no lumps}
4:Press the dough flat and evenly in the bowl, and then
divide it in half by eye. You should get 3 cookies from each half. {Or
half should give you 6 if you do double}
5:Roll each dough ball in your hands, roll lightly extra granulated sugar, and then space evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
6:Bake for 10-12 minutes, until they spread, start to crackle and appear dry on top. {They should also look a bit sparkly with the sugar}
7:Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8:After
the cookies have cooled for 10 minutes, press a white chocolate heart
into the centre of each cookie. Move the cookies to the fridge (so the
hearts don't melt too much) to set for 30 minutes. {Or longer if you need it}
9:Bring to room temperature before serving.
