Ingredients for Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

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

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
