Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, buttery and packed with chocolatey goodness! Perfect for your Valentine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy with an electric mixer in a large bowl.
-
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
-
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
-
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
-
If the cookies have spread recut them with the cookie cutter while they are still warm on the pan. The scraps are delicious! Leave them on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
-
Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
- Watch the Oven: Bake until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft—this ensures a chewy center!
- Quick Fix for Spreading: if your cookies still spread after baking even after chilling, remove them from the oven, re-cut them with the cookie cutter, and leave them on the warm baking sheet to set.
