Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

 

• Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy with an electric mixer in a large bowl.
• Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
• If the cookies have spread recut them with the cookie cutter while they are still warm on the pan. The scraps are delicious! Leave them on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
• Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with sprinkles if desired.

Notes

• Chill the Dough: Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix until just combined to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
• Watch the Oven: Bake until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft—this ensures a chewy center!
• Quick Fix for Spreading: if your cookies still spread after baking even after chilling, remove them from the oven, re-cut them with the cookie cutter, and leave them on the warm baking sheet to set.
