- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are slightly underdone.
- Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut into the cookies while still warm.
- Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal mixing. Measure flour accurately to avoid dense cookies. Customize with extra chocolate or sprinkles for visual appeal.
