Servings
For the Recipe
- 1 packet Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate
- 1/4 cup maida (all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 cup cornflour
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp oil
- Optional: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a pinch of cinnamon.
Directions
How to Make

Melt the chocolate: Break the Dairy Milk Chocolate into pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the oil.

Heat carefully: Microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted. Set aside.

Add cornflour: Stir the cornflour into the melted chocolate mixture.

Add maida: Gradually add the maida and mix until incorporated.

Adjust with milk: Slowly add milk while mixing until you achieve a smooth, pipeable consistency without lumps.

Shape the hearts: Transfer the mixture into a piping bag. Pipe small heart shapes onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake: Bake at 180°C for 6–7 minutes. Watch closely toward the end to prevent overbaking.
Cool and decorate: Allow the cookies to cool before adding your favorite decorations. Serve and enjoy.
Tips & Tricks
- Keep the melted chocolate smooth before adding the dry ingredients.
- Add milk gradually rather than all at once to control the batter consistency.
- Do not overbake; the cookies can become hard if left in the oven too long.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.
- For a softer texture, replace part of the milk with plain yogurt.
- Chill the piped hearts briefly if the mixture feels too loose to hold its shape.
Cultural Context & Celebratory Uses
Cookies have become a popular homemade addition to Indian celebrations, from festive gift boxes to children's birthday parties and family gatherings. These heart-shaped treats bring a playful presentation to the dessert table while keeping preparation simple. Package them in small boxes or transparent bags as edible gifts for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or festive occasions.
Variations & Substitutions
Add chopped almonds, pistachios, walnuts, or chocolate chips for extra crunch. A little cinnamon or instant espresso powder can create a more distinctive flavor. For a darker chocolate profile, replace Dairy Milk with Bournville Dark Chocolate. Yogurt can also replace some of the milk for a softer, creamier texture.
