This is the easiest Heart Cookies Hack! Cookie hacks can be very valuable when time has just run out to decorate homemade cookies. All you need is a knife to turn chocolate chip cookies into heart cookies for any occasion.
I was making my homemade Chocolate Chip Heart Cookies for Valentine’s Day and oops! needed a few more cookies than anticipated. I was considering making a new batch of dough, but time was running out. I stumbled across the snack packs of chocolate chip cookies in the pantry and thought …
Sure enough the crispy store bought chocolate chip cookie can also be crafted into a heart cookie! The key here is crispy and in order to turn a store bought cookie into a heart cookie the cookies must be crisp, but not too crisp so the cookie breaks apart.
After a few trial and error attempts using the same method I use to make Heart Cookies with my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe I found success!

Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookies (choose your favorite Brand)
How To Make A Heart Cookie
- The key is a crispy cookie, but a cookie that does not crumble when being cut with a knife.
- Test a cookie by cutting the cookie gently. Does the cookie crumble?
- If no, you are good to proceed.
- If yes, microwave the cookie(s) in increments of 5 seconds to ever so slightly soften the cookie.
- I begin with microwaving 10 seconds on high and then start the 5 seconds increments.
- Test the cookie again by doing a test cut with the knife. If the cookie can be cut without the cookie crumbling you are good to begin the heart shaping.
