ITTY BITTY VALENTINE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Yields: approximately 400 one-inch cookies
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Morsels
  • Optional mini heart sprinkles for decorating
PREPARATION
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating until well combined.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until dough is formed. Fold in mini morsels until well incorporated.
  5. Transfer dough to disposable decorating bags and twist top closed. Bag clips help keep dough from leaking out the top.
  6. Cut approximately one inch off of the bottom of your decorating bag and begin to pipe marble sized balls onto prepared baking sheet. Place a small pinch of mini heart sprinkles atop each cookie.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-6 minutes. Closely watch starting at 4 minutes until you get comfortable with your oven's baking time. For us, 5 minutes achieved cookies that were ever so slightly golden on the edges.
  8. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely before packaging. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
