Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)*
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Coating:

  • 10 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, melted
  • 2 oz white chocolate (optional, for drizzling)

Optional Decorations:

  • Sprinkles
  • Edible glitter

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
    • In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until combined.
    • Gradually mix in heat-treated flour until a dough forms. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  • Shape the Hearts:
    • Roll out the cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
    • Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Place the hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • Melt the semi-sweet or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Dip the Hearts:
    • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each heart into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the hearts back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Decorate and Chill:
    • Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with decorations before the coating sets.
    • Refrigerate the hearts for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • *To heat-treat flour, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, or microwave in a bowl for 1 minute, stirring halfway through.
  • For a twist, add crushed nuts or a pinch of sea salt to the cookie dough.
