Soft, chewy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, these cookies are a nostalgic treat and a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl and add vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Add chocolate chips to the dough and gently fold them in to evenly distribute.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  8. Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents spreading.’, ‘Measure flour accurately using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dry cookies.’, ‘Cookies should look slightly underbaked when removed from the oven for a soft texture.’, ‘Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.’, ‘Experiment with mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or flaky sea salt for variety.’]
