Make the best chewy chocolate chip cookies with soft centers and slightly crisp edges. This easy recipe guarantees bakery style results every time you bake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix 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 ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly mound the dough.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set and golden brown, but the centers should still look slightly soft and gooey.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using melted butter helps create a denser, chewier cookie texture compared to softened butter.
  • For extra gooey centers, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls before baking.
  • If you want a slight crisp edge, bake for 1 minute longer, but watch carefully to prevent drying out the center.
