Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure to the cookies; measure carefully for the best texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps cookies rise slightly; don’t skip this essential ingredient!
  • pinch salt Enhances flavor; using kosher salt brings out the sweetness perfectly.
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter Adds moisture and richness; ensure it’s at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar Contributes to moisture and a rich flavor, making cookies delightfully chewy.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the cookies and aids in browning for that golden finish.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses a lovely depth of flavor; opt for pure vanilla for the best taste.
  • 1 large eggs Binds ingredients together; use room temperature eggs for smoother integration.
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips Offers that delicious chocolatey goodness; a mix of regular and mini chips adds texture and appeal.
For Presentation

Step-by-Step Instructions
  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 flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture, mixing on low speed until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, distributing evenly.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 3-4 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Immediately use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut around the warm cookies.
  10. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
