How to Make Best Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and 1 large egg yolk until well combined and the mixture is light and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently stir in 2 cups chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or spatula.
  8. Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your unbelievably delicious cookies!
