How to Make Chewy Secret Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips (or more, to your liking!).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cool, hide a few for yourself...if you can resist!
