Description
These thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies are packed with gooey chips, golden edges, and soft centers—just like your favorite bakery classic.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (or a mix)
Optional: flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating after each, then mix in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips or chunks.
Scoop dough using a 3-tablespoon scoop and place on baking sheets with space between.
Press extra chocolate chips on top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
Use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for varied texture and meltiness.
Cookies can be frozen before or after baking.
Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm, gooey texture.
