Description

Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with golden edges and gooey centers, packed with melty chocolate chunks—an irresistible classic for every occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Scoop dough into 1.5-inch balls and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for proper creaming.
  • Don’t overbake—slightly underbaked centers keep cookies soft.
  • Microwave baked cookies for 8–10 seconds to revive gooey texture.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavor and reduce spread.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chunks and chips for varied texture.
