Serve these heart-shaped cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
To keep them soft, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies – it helps maintain moisture!

Decorate for Holidays: Use different colored sprinkles or edible glitter to match the theme of any holiday or celebration.

FAQ:

Can I freeze the dough to bake later?
Yes! You can freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Roll it into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and store it in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, slice the dough into cookie shapes and bake as usual.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?
While butter provides the best flavor and texture, margarine can be used as a substitute in a pinch, though the cookies might be slightly softer.

How can I make the cookies even more heart-shaped?
You can use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to shape the dough before baking, or, if you don’t have a cutter, simply use your hands to form the dough into hearts.

These Heart-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies are a delicious way to express love and affection, and they’re sure to bring smiles to anyone who receives them. Whether as a gift or a sweet treat for yourself, they’ll make any day a little sweeter!
