Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? I’ll be honest, it took some time to get my recipe just right, but I can’t wait to share this perfect, chewy, melty, chocolate chip cookie recipe with all of you!
Per usual, well work together, step by step, to create these chocolate chip cookies. This batch yields 25-ish cookies, however, the dough freezes very well. Highly recommend keeping some in the freezer, for when a chocolatey craving strikes!
Here’s what we’ll need:
Electric Mixer or Handheld Mixer
Medium mixing bowl
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Divided dough attachment
2 sticks salted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
There are a few things that I’ve found to be very important when baking cookies. Make sure your oven is preheated to 350 degrees before doing ANYTHING. Also, make sure your cookie sheet isn’t sitting on the stove over the oven. You want all of your materials at room temp, or even cold!
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In your medium mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients… flour, baking soda, and salt. Make sure your sea salt is fine!
In a separate bowl, or your electric mixer, combine butter and both sugars until a creamy consistency is achieved. Next, add your vanilla extract and eggs.
Very carefully, beat in the flour and dry ingredient mixture.
Finally, add your chocolate chips.
Using a kitchen tablespoon, scoop cookie dough onto parchment paper, leaving 1-2 inches between each cookie.
Bake on the middle rack of your oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown edges form.
LET THEM COOL! I know, I know, they look, and smell delicious, but trust me, let them cool, and the consistency is exactly what we’re looking for.
Once cooled, top with corse sea salt, and drizzle with melted semi sweet chocolate (optional).
That’s it!
Delicious, melty, chewy, chocolate chip cookies, with plenty of dough to store in the freezer!
I can’t wait for y’all to make this recipe, Justin absolutely loves it! Cookies keep in ziplock baggies or airtight containers for about a week, however, dough will stay fresh in the freezer for a month or so.
