Description
This recipe delivers thick, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies with gooey centers and slightly crisp edges, mimicking your favorite bakery style.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly press the dough balls down in the center.
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a chewier texture, use slightly more brown sugar than white sugar.
- If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- To achieve a bakery look, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each dough ball before baking.
