Description
Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with melty chocolate chips in every bite. These cookies have the perfect balance of crispy edges and gooey centers, making them a chocolate lover’s dream.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
For chewier cookies, add 1/4 cup of cornstarch to the dry ingredients.If you’d like to experiment with different types of chocolate, try using dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate chips.Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.For a more indulgent treat, add nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
