Description
Irresistibly soft, gooey chocolate chip cookies with a rich buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture—perfect for satisfying your homemade cookie cravings.
Ingredients
8 Tbsp salted butter
½ cup granulated sugar (raw cane sugar recommended)
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1½ cups (6.75 oz) all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt (plus a pinch more if desired)
¾ cup chocolate chips and/or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds until just melted but not hot.
- In a stand mixer or with beaters, cream melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract and egg. Mix on low speed just until incorporated (10–15 seconds).
- Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt until dough forms crumbs. Press together by hand into a dough ball.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chunks using hands for even distribution.
- Roll dough into 12 large or 9 jumbo balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are puffy but pale.
- Let cookies cool on pan for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
Notes
- Sprinkle sea salt on top before baking for extra flavor.
- Add chopped nuts for a crunchy variation.
- Use dark or white chocolate for different flavor profiles.
- For thicker cookies, chill dough before baking.
