WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR VALENTINE COOKIES WITH RED AND PINK CHIPS?
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (or use almond extract or 1/2 a teaspoon of each extract for a slight difference in flavor)
- 1 cup red and pink baking chips (like Sweet Tooth Fairy® Pink & White Baking Chips)
HOW DO YOU MAKE VALENTINE COOKIES WITH RED AND PINK CHIPS?
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. You can use 2 baking sheets so the cookies aren’t cramped in one. Mix the flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Cream the butter with the sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat just until combined.
- Adjusting the speed to low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir lightly until combined. Fold in the red and pink baking chips.
- Using a big cookie scoop, place each cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet spacing them about 2 inches apart. One recipe batch makes up to 16 pieces in this size. Using a smaller cookie scoop would produce about 3 dozen (tablespoon size). Preheat the oven to 350 F. Chill the cookies on the tray in the refrigerator as you wait for the oven to heat up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes (for large cookies) or just until browned on the edges though still looking pale in the middle. If doing smaller cookies, bake between 9-11 minutes. Do not overbake. Allow cooling on the sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- If not eating right away, keep the cookies in an airtight container. It retains a moist and chewy quality even after a day or two though am sure it will be gone during the first day! Guaranteed. 🙂
