Ingredients
  

  • 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.
