These Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to make for a weeknight treat and perfect for sharing with friends, featuring soft centers and slightly crisp edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled to room temperature)
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (300g)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips (or milk chocolate hearts)
- ½ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Add vanilla and egg. Whisk until thickened and lightened in color.
- Sift flour and baking soda into the same bowl. Mix in most chocolate chips, folding until no dry flour remains.
- Scoop dough into 14 large balls and shape each into a heart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the shaped hearts in the fridge for 1 hour or in the freezer for 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C). Bake for 7-9 minutes or until edges are slightly golden.
- Cool on the baking pan for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
Notes
Using melted butter gives a chewier texture. Do not skip chilling the dough for better shape retention during baking.
