Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Forms the base structure; use a kitchen scale for precision.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda A vital leavening agent; ensure it’s fresh to achieve the perfect rise.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Enhances sweetness; opt for kosher or sea salt for balance.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Richness in every bite; ensure it’s at room temperature for smooth creaming.
  • ½ cup light brown sugar Adds moisture and chewiness; feel free to swap for dark brown sugar for extra depth.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Provides sweetness and spread; coconut sugar makes a great healthier alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Boosts flavor; always choose pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1 large egg Important for moisture and binding; let it sit at room temperature before use.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat ½ cup of unsalted butter with ½ cup of light brown sugar and ¼ cup of granulated sugar for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, beating until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2-3 inches between each scoop.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain soft; reshape with a heart-shaped cutter if needed.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
