You get the best homemade chocolate chip cookies that are perfectly thick, chewy, and soft with gooey centers. This easy recipe requires no chill time and delivers bakery style results fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon 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 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can mix this by hand or with an electric mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  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.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  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 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These are your best ever cookies when slightly warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter. Let the browned butter cool slightly before creaming it with the sugars.
  • To achieve thick cookies that do not spread too much, ensure your butter is only softened, not melted, and chill the dough for 15 minutes if your kitchen is warm.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bars for varied melt textures.
