Have you ever taken a bite of something so delicious that it made your heart skip a beat?
Today, I’m super pumped to share a recipe with you that does just that—Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches. These cookies are not your average ones; they’re like a love letter to the classic chocolate chip cookie, sprinkled with a touch of romance.
Picture a regular afternoon, with sunlight streaming in through the window and the world outside peacefully quiet. In the kitchen, there’s this exciting feeling as the sweet smell of baking cookies starts to waft through the air. It’s not just any cookie—it’s a heart shaped declaration, a creation of sweetness to be shared.
Now, you might wonder, why heart shaped? Well, the heart, a timeless symbol of love and affection, turns a simple cookie sandwich into something extraordinary. It’s a gesture, a small act of making that comes straight from the heart.
And the chocolate chip cookie—what more can be said about it that hasn’t been said before? It’s the ultimate comfort treat, a reminder of homey warmth and childhood nostalgia. Its humble origins back in 1930s America only add to its enduring charm.
When making these sandwiches, we melt butter as if we’re melting hearts. The sugars blend together like the sweet moments in life, complemented by the authentic flavor of pure vanilla. Each ingredient added to the mix, from the eggs to the flour, plays a role in creating a rich tapestry of flavors and textures.
As the dough comes together, dotted with mini chocolate chips, there’s a fun sense of anticipation. Every dollop onto the parchment paper is a promise of joy, a future moment of pure indulgence.
Let’s talk about the ganache, oh, the ganache! Decadent chocolate meets the warm hug of heavy cream to form a luxurious filling, as smooth as a love ballad. Its simplicity hides the complexity of its taste, a reminder that the best things in life are often the simplest.
And when all these elements combine, cut into heart shapes and joined with a ganache filling, what you end up with is more than just a cookie sandwich. It’s a celebration, a sweet homage to love that’s meant to be shared.

Cookie Dough
In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Ganache Creation
While cookies bake, make the ganache by pouring heated heavy cream over the chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth and allow to thicken to a spreadable consistency.

Heart Cutting
Once the cookies have cooled, use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the cookie sheet.
-
Assembly
Pipe or spread the thickened ganache on the bottom side of one heart-shaped cookie and sandwich with another cookie on top.

Let the cookie sandwiches set until the ganache is firm, then serve to your loved ones or indulge yourself!
