How to Make All American Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position rack in the upper third of the oven.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup + 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar using a mixer on low speed until combined.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon water. Increase mixer speed to high and beat for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons (about 13) onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Bake for 5 minutes.
  10. Rotate baking sheet and increase oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  12. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the chewy goodness!
  13. The shorter baking time helps achieve a chewier texture.
