I’m a bit of a cookie snob. These Valentine’s Day cookies fit the bill for my ideal cookie. They have a slight crisp to the outside, but they are soft and chewy. Top with Ghardelli’s Chocolate Chips. I can’t think of better cookies to make on Valentine’s Day. They are fantastic!
What makes them perfect:
- Soft and chewy: The melted butter, extra egg yolk, and brown sugar make these cookies soft and chewy Valentine’s Day treats.
- EASY: This only takes minutes to prep, and you don’t need a mixer!
Ingredients Needed:
Here are some notes on a few ingredients- please see the complete ingredient list in the recipe card below! These ingredients make for perfect Valentine’s Day cookies with a touch of royal icing.
- All-purpose flour- This recipe calls for all-purpose flour. Make sure you measure your flour correctly!
- Butter—I always use unsalted butter for baking Valentine’s Day cookies. You can use salted butter if that’s all you have! Just omit the salt that the recipe calls for.
- Sugar—This recipe calls for both granulated and light brown sugar. The combination gives the cookies that classic chocolate chip taste.
- Chocolate chips/chunks—I used a mixture of regular and mini semisweet chocolate chips inside my cookies, perfect for Valentine’s Day cookies. Then, I cut up a semisweet chocolate bar to add chunks to my cookies. This gives them those swirly pools of chocolate!
- Cookie cutter—I got this heart cookie cutter on Amazon (it’s about 3.5×3.25″, but there are smaller and bigger versions as well). You should also easily find a heart cookie cutter at a local Walmart, Target, or craft store! Adjust the cookie dough size you scoop depending on your cutter’s size. Make sure each cookie is uniform for the best Valentine’s Day cookies.
