Description

These cookies are irresistibly soft and sweet, with a delicate buttery texture that melts in your mouth. Each bite is infused with a hint of vanilla and a burst of chocolate chips, making them the perfect treat for Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heart-shaped sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, sprinkle with heart-shaped sprinkles for decoration.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: The cookie dough can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 3 days before baking.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Substitutions: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor or substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a nutty twist.
