Description
These Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy with crisp edges and melty chocolate in every bite. Perfectly buttery and sweet, they deliver bakery-quality results straight from your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look slightly underdone.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Chill dough for thicker, chewier cookies.
- Add chopped nuts, sea salt, or a mix of chocolate types for variations.
- Freeze dough for up to 3 months and bake from frozen, adding a minute or two to the bake time.
- Store cookies with a slice of bread in the container to keep them soft.
