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
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (if needed)
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs individually, beating well after each addition to create a smooth consistency.
- Mix in vanilla extract, blending until fully integrated.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a uniform dough. If the consistency appears too dense, add a small amount of milk to achieve the right texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Roll out the dough to a quarter-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to craft precise cookie shapes, transferring each carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges as a sign of perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving, which helps them set and develop a delightful crisp texture.
Notes
- Sift flour before measuring to ensure light, tender cookies with perfect texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips to prevent breaking them and ensure even spread throughout the dough.
- Let butter soften at room temperature for 30 minutes to create smoother, more evenly mixed cookie dough.
- Use cookie cutters of different sizes to make versatile heart-shaped treats for various occasions like Valentine’s Day or anniversaries.
