Cost: $5.45 or $0.30/cookie
Equipment
- 1 cookie scoop
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup pink & red M&Ms
Instructions
- Add butter and both sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and beat again until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a large baking sheet or 2 medium baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop, form 18 balls of dough and place them at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball of dough to ¼ inch thickness, and press 4-5 of the M&Ms on the tops of each cookie ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until just beginning to brown around the edges. Using your heart-shaped cookie cutter, immediately cut each cookie into hearts, discarding or saving the scraps for later. Allow the cookies to cool, then serve!
