Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to ensure safety)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smooth texture)

Optional Garnish:

  • Sprinkles
  • Sea salt
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  • Make the Edible Cookie Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and milk.
    • Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, stirring until the dough is smooth.
    • Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Shape the Hearts:
    • Roll the cookie dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/2-inch thickness.
    • Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Chill the hearts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  • Coat with Chocolate:
    • Place the chilled cookie dough hearts on a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch drips.
    • Drizzle or pour the melted chocolate over each heart, ensuring they are well-coated. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the chocolate if needed.
    • Add sprinkles or sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet, if desired.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Place the chocolate-covered hearts in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
    • Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • To heat-treat the flour, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to ensure safety.
  • These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
