These chewy chocolate chip cookies feature a perfect gooey texture with crisp edges and melty chocolate pockets, making them a family favorite and crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently just until combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball with your fingers.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft and slightly underbaked. Rotate the sheet halfway if needed.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overbake to maintain gooey centers. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Use brown sugar generously for moisture and chewiness. Slightly flatten dough balls for even baking. Butter is preferred over margarine for best texture.
