Valentine’s Day Cookies

While you can often find me making tons of homemade treats, I still love the pre-made cookies in the refrigerated section. They are just so nostalgic.

Growing up there was a Nestle Tollhouse Valentine’s Day edition that included these little pink and red chocolate chips. I’m sure they were just dyed white chocolate, but they were some of my absolute favorites. As with all of our favorite childhood treats, they were discontinued quite some time ago and replaced with just sprinkles in the dough. Not the same as I’m sure you can imagine!

Now white chocolate can be super sweet, so I do like the balance of semi-sweet chocolate chips. These are still incredibly sweet, but it helps to balance it out. This is the closest I’ve gotten to replicating those cookies I still dream of!
