Strawberry Chocolate Chip Valentine’s Cookies
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is my hubby’s all time favorite, but with a few modifications for Valentine’s Day. This yummy cookie is crisp on the edges and stays soft in the center. The flavor is a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe with a light strawberry taste blended in. If I take these into work they literally fly right off the plate, and with only 6 ingredients needed for this cookie recipe they couldn’t be simpler to make. To make them festive for Valentine’s Day simply add some pink food coloring. These cookies make a sweet gift for a neighbor, friend, family member, or bake up a batch of these chocolate chip cookies for yourself!
