Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cozy and delightful heart-shaped chocolate chip cookies, perfect for any occasion with a soft, chewy texture and rich chocolate flavor.
Ingredients
For the cookies
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heart-shaped sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until creamy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and eggs; beat until well combined.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and heart-shaped sprinkles if using.
Baking
- Roll the dough into balls and shape them into heart shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture. Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour; it should be just combined. For a fun twist, try adding nuts or dried fruit along with the chocolate chips. Use quality chocolate chips for a rich flavor.
