The ultimate chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, look no further!
Over the years, I have tried dozens, if not close to hundreds of cookie recipes. Always hoping for that ONE recipe that will end my hunt for the perfect version of that particular cookie. This, my loves is it. The best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, the only one you’ll ever need!
Chewy centers, crisp edges, loaded with chocolate … endless options.
Whether you roll traditional cookies, or bake this dough on a baking sheet for cookie bars, you can add your own little twist by omitting or adding other candy pieces into the mix! (Think caramels, m&m’s, peanut butter chips)
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks melted unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips of choice
Pre heat oven to 350* Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
- Mix together butter, sugar, vanilla + eggs with handheld mixer until light and fluffy (2 minutes or so)
- Add flour, salt, baking soda and mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and cookie dough has formed
- Mix in chocolate chips
For traditional cookies:
- Roll 1 1/2 Tbsp worth of dough into small balls, or use a cookie scoop – place onto prepared baking sheet
- BAKE @ 350* for 9-12 minutes or until centers are barely set
- Let cookies cool and set on wire rack
For Chocolate Chip Bars:
(As seen in the picture, once I pressed the dough into the pan, I simply cut baking caramels in half and pushed them into the dough prior to baking. Let your freak flag fly and add anything you’d like to spice up your cookie bars!)
- Press dough into a parchment paper lined 8×11 baking sheet. TIP: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press down dough evenly
- The dough will not reach to the ends of the pan, so simply leave 1/2 inch on each side without dough – it will spread while baking!
- BAKE @ 350* for 20-25 minutes, just until top is slightly golden and puffy
- Remove from oven and let cool 30+ minutes before slicing
