Description
Soft, gooey, and irresistibly classic chocolate chip cookies with a perfect balance of crisp edges and a chewy center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and fully combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to create thick, bakery-style cookies.
- Scoop the dough into large balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for that gooey, melted chocolate texture.
Notes
Chill the dough for thick cookies, avoid overbaking, and use high-quality chocolate.
