Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl to create a uniform dry ingredient base.
- Melt butter and combine with brown and granulated sugars, blending until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, stirring until fully integrated and creating a rich, glossy texture.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Using a tablespoon, drop rounded dough portions onto prepared baking sheet, positioning each scoop approximately 2 inches apart to allow proper spreading.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for golden edges while maintaining a soft, slightly underbaked center for maximum gooeyness.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and enhance flavor depth.
- Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation and smoother cookie texture.
- For gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or mixed chips for unique flavor profiles.
