Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Red or pink sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookies.
- Place the heart-shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. If desired, sprinkle the tops with red or pink sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate chips or even mix in some white chocolate chips for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, you can use any shape you like!
- For a fun twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the cookies once they’re cool.
