In a medium size bowl, start by creaming together sugar and softened butter. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.

Then, in separate bowl, combine the sour cream, salt and baking soda.

Next, add the flour and sour cream mixture to first bowl with the butter mixture, beat together until smooth.

Proceed to let the dough chill for several hours, 1-2 would be fine if you want to enjoy the cookies that day. If you have time to let the dough chill overnight that would give the dough time to develop more flavor.

Set the over to 375 degree F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or use parchment paper, set aside.

Next, roll out the dough to about 1/3 of an inch thick. Proceed to cut the dough using your heart shaped cookie cutter and place them on your prepared baking sheet. The dough will be sticky, so you will need to use a good amount of flour to cut your shapes. I like to stick the cookie cutter in the tub of flour between cutting each shape.

Stick them in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Make sure not to over-bake your cookies. They may not even look totally done on the tops, but if the bottoms start to brown, I take mine out and they are perfect!

In a medium size bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth.

Next, add in and mix the remaining ingredients until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add additional milk a little at a time if thinner consistency is desired.

First, stick a dinner plate or a cookie sheet in the freezer. Sounds odd, I know, just trust me on this one.

Then, put 1/4 - 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small ziplocked bag. Proceed to microwave for 1 minute, then turn over, and microwave again in 30 second increments until chips are melted and chocolate can be easily squished around the bag. Mine took 2 thirty-second increments, so an additional minute.

Next, lay out a square of wax paper. Cut a very small corner off the bag and draw a heart on the wax paper about the size of your cookie cutters. Then, fill in the hearts with crisscross lines and such. There is no method to my madness, I just sort of went crazy. When your wax paper is full, take the pan or plate from the freezer and slide the wax paper on top of it. You will noticed the chocolate begin to harden immediately. Let sit until fully set.

When the cookies have cooled, frost them, then place a chocolate heart on top. I also dabbed a cinnamon jelly heart in a tiny bit of frosting and added those to the center.
