Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (packed, 220 grams) brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340 grams) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- Portion the dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, placing dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft and slightly underbaked.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to set.
Notes
Chilling the dough is crucial for soft and gooey texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense cookies. Use softened but cool butter for best creaming results. Baking closer to 10 minutes yields extra gooey cookies; longer baking gives more chew. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.
