Heart Shaped Cookies

Make your sweetie something sweet! These heart shaped cookies are just delicious and oh so easy to make.

Ingredients

• 2¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 cup Dan and Debbie’s salted butter, at room temperature

• ½ cup light brown sugar packed

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs, at room temperature

• 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Set this aside.

• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes). Mix in the eggs and vanilla until just combined.

• Gradually add in dry ingredients. Mix just until you no longer see streaks of flour. Fold in chocolate chips.

• Scoop about 2 tablespoon of dough onto a baking sheet, keeping about 2-3 inches between each cookie beacuse they will spread (depending on how big/small your cookie cutter is you may need to adjust the size of your scoops). If using, press chocolate chunks and sprinkles into the tops of each cookie.

• Bake for about 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are very slightly golden brown but the center is slightly underdone. Remove from the oven and use a heart-shaped cookie cutter immediately to cut the cookies into hearts (be careful because they will be hot)! Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for another 5-7 minutes, and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

• Use room temperature ingredients- the butter and eggs in this recipe should be room temperature before using them. I like to take my butter out about an hour before I start baking just to be sure!
