Valentine Crinkle Cookies

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Add the Chocolate Hearts:

Immediately press a chocolate heart candy into the center of each cookie while they’re still warm. The warmth of the cookie will slightly soften the chocolate, helping it adhere.

Cool and Serve:

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving and Storage Tips

• Serving Suggestions: Serve these cookies with a cup of hot chocolate, coffee, or tea for a cozy Valentine’s Day treat.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• Freezing Option: Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 1–2 minutes to the baking time.
