Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft, chewy cookies loaded with rich chocolate flavor, perfect for family and friends.
Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure your butter is softened but not melted for best texture.
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs For chewier cookies, add an extra egg yolk.
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips You can use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for more depth in flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
Baking
- Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look soft; that’s okay!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a freezer bag for up to three months. Don't overbake; pulling them out when just set will keep them chewy.
