Print Recipe

These thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies are beginner-friendly, quick to make, and packed with melty chocolate chips for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the chilled butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Using chilled butter or chilling the dough prevents cookies from spreading too much.’, ‘Measure ingredients accurately for the best texture.’, ‘Slightly underbaking ensures gooey centers.’, ‘Test your oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking.’]
