Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Press the cookie dough evenly into a large, ungreased sheet pan.
Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Let the cookie cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies directly from the pan.
Serve the cookies plain, or decorate them by dipping in melted chocolate candy coating, drizzling with more melted candy, and topping with sprinkles.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days; freeze in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Spread the cookie dough evenly in a sheet pan, bake until golden, then cut into heart shapes with cookie cutters while still warm. This ensures uniform shapes and even baking.
Yes. Once cooled, decorate with melted chocolate, frosting, or sprinkles. Let any toppings set before serving.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Yes, but use 1 cup butter total instead of 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening. The shortening creates a chewier texture, so butter alone will yield a slightly different crumb.
Cut the cookies while the sheet pan is still warm, within 2–3 minutes of removing from the oven, when the dough is soft enough to cut cleanly but still holds its shape.
