I shared this last February as a Simple Solutions project for When Creativity Knocks - but it was yummy enough to share again this year for those who missed it :0)Nothing says lovin’ like something from the oven……… or say the saying goes. Last year, Ana shared here adorable big cookie heart project with our viewers. I tried it, and it was a huge hit here too! I've seen an assortment of very creative ideas for creating cupcakes, full sized cakes and more with a heart shaped theme in magazines and online, but wanted to try to find a "simple" way to create something special for my Valentines. Our family loves hot chocolate chip pie – it’s our favorite treat for dessert when dining out. My husband’s favorite home-baked treats are chocolate chip cookies and M&M cookies. This thick mini-heart chocolate chip cookie with a warm, gooey center is a mixture of all three favorites!
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing your favorite home-made chocolate chip cookie dough (we like the original Toll-House Cookie recipe best).
- Spray the inside area of a metal heart shaped cookie cutter with non-stick spray.
- Place onto non-stick surface on baking sheet.
- Use spoon to place approximately ½” of cookie dough to fill cookie cutter.
- To make M&M heart on top, either freeform place candies to create heart, or use a slightly smaller heart cookie cutter on top of the base cookie and place candies inside to create heart shape. Remove cutter before baking.
- Bake in oven at 375 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Center will be soft when removed from oven.
- Allow to cool on cookie sheet approximately 5 minutes. Gently lift cookie cutter and cookie “pie” will remain on baking sheet.
- Place warm heart cookie pie onto small plate, sprinkle red & pink decorative sugars around it. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. If desired, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve while still warm and watch while your valentine enjoys their treat (or join in the delicious fun!).
