Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (340 grams) chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry ingredient mixture.
- Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring thorough blending after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to maintain cookie tenderness.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips throughout the dough, distributing them evenly for consistent sweetness.
- Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the dough to approximately 14-inch thickness, creating an even base.
- Press heart-shaped cookie cutter into the rolled dough, carefully transferring each shaped cookie onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for lightly golden edges as an indication of doneness.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to stabilize, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container, which will preserve their freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling to prevent spreading and maintain heart shape.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother, more consistent cookie texture.
- Customize by swapping chocolate chips with white chocolate, dark chocolate, or adding nuts for extra crunch.
- For gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to keep the same delightful texture.
