How to Make Infused Heart-Shaped Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a medium bowl, beat the infused butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes, until light and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add flour, baking soda, vanilla pudding powder, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips on low speed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to help it hold its shape.
- Using a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop, place two scoops of dough into each heart-shaped silicone mold. Lightly press to flatten.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes, then carefully remove from molds and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Dispensary on Main Tip
These cookies are rich and satisfying — start with one and give it time before reaching for another. Infused desserts are best enjoyed slowly, especially when shared with someone you care about.
