You deserve cookies that taste like they came from a famous bakery. This recipe delivers ultra thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies with perfectly crisp edges and gooey centers. It is the ultimate cookie recipe you will save.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate medium 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 the dough.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks by hand.
  7. Scoop the dough using a large ice cream scoop (about 3 tablespoons per cookie) and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. For extra thick cookies, gently press the dough balls slightly inward to form a taller mound rather than a flat disc.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look golden brown and set, but the centers should still look slightly soft and underbaked.
  9. Remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the warm cookies for a bakery look.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set up with crispy edges and gooey centers.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use a mix of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate chunks.
  • If you want slightly crispier edges, bake for 1 minute longer. For softer centers, pull them out right at the 10-minute mark.
  • These cookies stay thick and chewy for days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
