These were a waste of time and ingredients

This came out as a powdery mess that wasn't even a little workable.
Excellent!

Stephanie Cone from USA

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit. I used regular-sized chocolate chips and it worked fine, you just use less of them. Awesome recipe!
Mini Chip Cut-Out Cookies

Joanne Littleton from Woodhaven, MI

Since my husband's birthday is Valentine's Day, my youngest son makes these, places them in a heart shaped tin with a homemade card attached. Then the 2 of them will eat cookies together all day long.
Yum!

Christie Weist from Reading/PA

I love these cookies. I love the little chocolate chips, they make it better, in my opinion. I like them better without the icing on top, too.

I made these cookies for my nephew's Valentine Day's party and they went over so well I have had to make them several times since. They taste like a chocolate chip shortbread and are AWESOME!

LYNN BORG from Encinitas, CA

I tried these a little early to see if they would be good for a Valentines party and they were wonderful. Easy to make, great taste and I can not wait to make them again in a few weeks. I used dark and white chocolate piping on them to change it up a little!

I made these for a Valentine's party for preschoolers. Knowing I would be pressed for time, I made them ahead & froze them. Then the day before I thawed them & decorated in various ways. They were a big hit with the kids!
valentine success

rae gorman-devlin from MAYS LANDING, NJ

I wanted to make something different and special for Valentine's Day. My family, however, always prefers choc chip. These cookies were so pretty when decorated, different than the usual choc chip, yet everyone was still pleased. Will make and decorate again for other holidays.
Not just for Valentine's Day

GWEN MALINOWSKI from CHICAGO, IL

I made these for the office and they were enjoyed by all. Many asked for the recipe. I will use these again using different shaped cookie cutters for the different holidays.
Great Recipe

Lauren Pittinger from Gainesville, FL

I made these cookies for all of my friends for Valentine's Day and they were a huge hit. Very easy to make, and delicious!
Delicious

Marsha L. Kiester from KIMMELL, IN

I was plesantly suprised by the wonderful results of this easy recipe. Made them for my daughters birthday, which is the day before Valentines. They were a hit. Didn't have enough mini-chips to drizzle the chocolate on top of the frosting, but they are just fine with just frosting. I used two silicone sheets to roll the dough between and they worked just as well as wax paper. Will plan on making this recipe again soon.
Awsome

JASON HUTCHISON from CHAGRIN FALLS, OH

Extra Special

Angie Anastasi from MILWAUKEE, WI

these were probably the best chocolate chip cookie-type I've every tasted. And they were fun to make with my 9-year-old. They're very special cookies that'll I'll probably start making for every Valentine's Day from here on.

These cookies not only look great but there very easy to make. I was also very impressed with how they tasted!
Great tasting cookie!

A Chen from

I used this as a valentine cookie cut out recipe and didn't use the morsels, but instead added red sugar in the middle using a smaller heart cookie cutter. Looked really pretty after baking it and people enjoyed eating them!
New Twist...

Stephanie Brown from San Jose, CA

I make a fluffy white frosting and pipe it between two cookies to create heart sandwiches - they're a big hit...my friends even ask for them as birthday gifts!

Fun to make!

These cookies are a joy to make! Each cookie is packed with tons of tiny chocolate morsels, and it makes them so yummy! I made them for Valentine's Day for my family, and everyone commented on how pretty they were with the icing and the chocolate drizzled over them! If you have a little time on hand, give them a try!

I made these cookies. They do take some work, but were very good. They didn't last long.Instead of putting the chocolate on top I put valentine sprinkles. It made them festive. The kids loved them.

Valentine Cookies

CATHLEEN FERGUSON from PORT WASHINGTON, WI

Everyone who tried these were very impressed that I figured out a way to cut shaped cookies out of chocolate chip cookie dough! They loved them, and commented I should start up a bakery! I did change the melted chocolate for melted frosting which worked much easier in decorating!

Mini Chip Cut-out Cookies

Lisa Gram from Akron, OH

I used 1/2 cup less morsels in recipe because it seemed too rich and they turned out great.I thought these cookies where a little dry but tasty. I prefer my mothers sugar cookie recipe better because the cookies are soft, moist and lighter. If you like drier cookies this is the recipe for you!
Mini Chip Cut-out Cookies

Marcia Gray from STAFFORD, VA

A bit time consuming, but worth the trouble. I like this recipe in place of the traditional sugar cookie for cut out shapes. It is always fun to offer a surprise!
Mini Chip Cookies

Anita Benson from JARRETTSVILLE, MD

I tried this recipe for our office Valentine celebration. It was the rave of the party! Everyone asked if they were hard to make and when I told them they were easy they asked for the recipe. I love that there is no mess because the dough is rolled between the waxed paper. Thank you again for this wonderful recipe.
Son's suggestion

Kay Horn from MATTOON, IL

My 10 year old daughter and I stirred this recipe up easily! Our whole family loved them! My "picky" 16 year old son suggested they would be good cookies to use for making ice cream sandwiches!

My daughter and I made these and it was so much fun we made enough for the neighbors
