Ingredients
For the cookie dough:
- 1 unsalted butter at room temperature, stick, 113 grams
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed, (100 grams
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk any kind
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 all-purpose flour see notes, 190 grams
- 1/8 teaspoon salt fine
- 3/4 cup miniature chocolate chips 128 grams
For the chocolate coating:
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped, 454 grams
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening
- decorative sprinkles if desired
Instructions
Make the cookie dough:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until very well combined and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the milk and vanilla. On low speed, gradually add the flour and salt. Stir in the miniature chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough out onto a parchment paper-lined worked surface. Cover with a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll it out with a rolling pin until it reaches about 1/2-inch in thickness. Freeze for 15 minutes. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out pieces of cookie dough. Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Make the chocolate coating:
- In a heat-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until melted and smooth. Dip the firm and very cold cookie dough hearts into the chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Refrigerate until set.
Notes
- To make raw flour safer for consumption, we need to kill bacteria. Bake the flour at 350°F for 10 minutes (or microwave in 30-second bursts) until it reaches 165°F. Use an instant-read thermometer to guarantee it hits 165°F, the temperature at which bacteria dies.
- If preferred, decorate with a small amount of melted white chocolate, drizzled on top of the hearts after the semi-sweet chocolate has set.
