Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the chocolate chips.
- Variations: Add cinnamon or nutmeg, substitute white or milk chocolate chips, or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies.
- Freeze: You can freeze the dough before baking or the baked cookies for up to 3 months.
