Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Make the Cookie Dough:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.

6. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

7. Form the dough balls: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread slightly as they bake, but this large portion creates a big, thick cookie.

8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft. Don’t overbake; you want the cookies to stay soft and chewy in the center.

9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

10. Enjoy: Serve the cookies warm with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. They’re perfect for any occasion!

Servings and Timing

• Servings: About 18 cookies

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 10-12 minutes

• Total Time: 30 minutes

Variations

• Add more mix-ins: Try adding chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) or different types of chocolate chips (milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate) for added flavor.

• Make it gluten-free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of these cookies.

• Chill the dough: For thicker cookies with less spreading, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.

• Add sea salt: Sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each cookie before baking to add a touch of salty sweetness.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

• Freezing: Freeze the dough for up to 3 months. Scoop the dough into balls and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Bake directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the baking time.

• Reheating: To reheat, microwave the cookies for 10-15 seconds to soften them or warm them in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

While you can use margarine in place of butter, the texture and flavor might not be as rich as when using real butter. Butter gives the cookies their signature flavor and chewy texture.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

Yes, you can freeze the dough! Scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then transfer the dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to bake, bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.

How do I make sure the cookies stay soft?

To ensure your cookies stay soft and chewy, don’t overbake them. The cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out of the oven. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, and they’ll firm up without becoming dry.

Can I use different chocolate chips?

Yes! You can use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips to customize the flavor of your cookies.

Why are these cookies so thick?

The thick texture of these cookies is partly due to the large dough balls and the perfect balance of wet-to-dry ingredients. Chilling the dough helps achieve a thicker cookie if you prefer less spreading during baking.
