Ingredients for Big And Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Light Brown Sugar
  • White Sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

How to Make Big And Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or more, if you like!).
  7. Use a 1/4 cup cookie scoop or a spoon to drop rounded cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
