These chewy chocolate chip cookies are a perfect homemade treat with a rich, melty chocolate center and a tender, chewy texture. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients, they are ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and pale.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla bean paste or extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use softened butter, not melted, to trap air for chewiness. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Store cookies with a slice of bread in an airtight container to maintain moisture. Dough can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
