Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Add 1 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Cream the ingredients together with an electric mixer.

3. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a teaspoon each of salt and baking soda to a separate bowl.

4. Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture to create dough. Fold in 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

5. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray. Separate the dough between the two pans. Spread the dough on the pans to create an 8-inch heart shape. Leave 1 inch of space around the perimeter so that the dough can spread when it bakes.

6. Bake the giant heart cookies for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are brown and the center appears set. Trim the edges if the heart that appear uneven.

7. Allow the heart cookies to cool completely. Add your favorite frosting. Place the heart cookie in a cake box or a large container.
