    It’s hard to beat a delicious perfect chocolate chip cookie but when it’s in shaped as a heart it makes it all the sweeter!

    These are a perfect treat for Valentine’s Day or anytime you want to share some fun heart shaped chocolate chip cookies!

    I’ve shared my super simple chocolate M&M Valentine cookies, my chocolate cherry cookies, and my favorite Valentine sugar cookies, but I knew I had to share these little beauties too!

    • Butter
    • Sugar- Brown and White
    • Vanilla
    • Eggs
    • Flour
    • Baking Soda

    • Chocolate- I like to use both semi-sweet chocolate chunks and semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use all of just one or the other if you like
    • Optional Decorations: Candy Melts and Sprinkles

    How to make Heart Shaped Cookies?

    • Cream the butter, sugars and vanilla
    • Add in the eggs one at a time
    • Add in the flour, salt, and baking soda
    • Fold in the chocolate- I like to use a mixture of both chocolate chunks and chocolate chips
    • Press dough into the heart shaped molds
    • Bake at 375°F for 8-11 minutes
    • Decorate or enjoy as is!

    Tips For the Best Cookies


    High Altitude Adjustments: Decrease both sugars to only ⅔ cups. Increase flour to 2 ½ cups and add two 2 teaspoon water when you add your flour.

    Check Your Mold Before Baking Every Time: Make sure to check each heart to make sure the indent isn't pressed out. Otherwise you won't get a nice heart shape but a blob.

    Left Cookie: Heart indent wasn't pushed in. Right Cookie: Everything was correct before baking

    How to decorate heart cookies?

    I like to dip the cookies in candy melts, then sprinkle with fun Valentine Sprinkles, or drizzle with a different candy melt color.

    How to store chocolate chip heart cookies?

    Store cookies in an air tight container like a Ziploc baggie.

    How long do cookies last?

    Eat within a week for freshest taste.

    Can you make cookie dough ahead of time?

    Yep! Just make the dough then roll into balls before freezing. To bake them into hearts after freezing, allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator then press into the heart molds and bake according to directions.

    These cookies are perfectly chewy on the inside with a crunchy outside!

    Why add instant pudding mix to cookies?

    Pudding mix is my “secret” ingredient. It makes the most tender and chewy cookies that everyone loves.

    Which cookie do you think is the cutest?

    The white and pink gives off strong Barbie vibes which is super fun but I really love how the sprinkles look! Let me know your favorite in the comments below!

    Equipment

    • Heart Shaped Silicone Mold

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup unsalted butter* softened
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 ¼ cups flour
    • 1 package Instant Vanilla Pudding 3.4 oz

    • 4 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate bar*
    • Optional Decorations Candy Melts, Sprinkles

    Instructions
     

    For high altitude adjustments see notes.

    • Preheat oven to 375°F.
    • With a stand-up mixer, cream butter, brown and white sugar, and vanilla.
      1 cup unsalted butter*, ¾ cup white sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
      after creaming butter and sugars
    • Add in eggs one at a time. Letting the first egg incorporate fully into the batter before adding the next.
      2 eggs
      after eggs added to batter
    • Add in the flour, instant pudding mix, baking soda, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
      2 ¼ cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 package Instant Vanilla Pudding
