Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies
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).
Ingredients
- 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 yolk 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.
