Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Angela Sellari Jump to Recipe

Nothing says I love you like a warm from the oven chocolate chip cookie. Except, of course, when it comes in the shape of a heart. These Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect way to say “I love you” this Valentine’s Day (or any day of the year).

Chocolate chip cookies are hands down the cookie of choice in my house. Nothing fancy, just a good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie. You know… one of those recipes you know by heart.

Any tips on making these with kids?

Instead of rolling out the dough out into one big sheet, you can just smoosh individual balls of dough flat with the palm of your hand and cut them out one at a time. This is a fun way to do it if you are baking with children.

How To Store Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies

You have a number of options, depending on when you intend on eating the cookies. If you plan on eating them within 3 days, you can just store them at room temperature in an airtight container. If you plan on eating them within the week, you should store them in the fridge. There they will last about a week. Be sure to seal them well, as cookies tend to dry up in the fridge. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Place them in a single layer upon a baking tray and place them in the freezer. Once frozen, relocate them to an airtight bag or container. When you want to eat some, take out however many you want and let them thaw to room temperature.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light-brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet mini-chocolate chips

Instructions

 

•  Preheat oven to 350° F
• Cream together the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla.
• Sift together the flour and salt, and add to the butter and sugar mixture one cup at a time, until completely incorporated. Dough should have a crumbly consistency that you can easily shape into a ball.
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips. You can use your mixer, but I recommend doing this with your hands, so you don’t break up the chips.  Shape dough into a slightly flattened disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least thirty minutes.
• Roll dough onto lightly floured parchment paper, cut into shapes with a 2-inch heart-shaped cutter.
• Place cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
• Place chilled cookies into preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool 2-3 minutes. Carefully, transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
