Make thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookies with chewy centers and slightly crisp edges without waiting for dough to chill.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 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, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fully combined.
  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. Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. For thicker cookies, press the dough mounds slightly inward to create a taller shape.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set and lightly golden, but the centers should still look slightly underbaked and soft.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period helps set the chewy texture.

Notes

  • Using melted butter helps create a denser, chewier cookie structure compared to creamed butter.
  • The higher ratio of brown sugar to white sugar contributes moisture and chewiness.
  • For extra gooey centers, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls immediately after removing them from the oven.
