Chocolate chip cookie heart shaped for Valentine’s Day

In the United States, chocolate chip cookies are a classic treat for special occasions, and Valentine's Day is no exception. These heart-shaped cookies combine American tradition with a special touch: they are made with extra virgin olive oil from Spain, giving them a crispy outside and a soft inside.

Additionally, we decorate them with candy-coated chocolate pieces and colorful sprinkles to make them even more festive and full of love. They are perfect for gifting or enjoying with a loved one on this special day.
