How to Make The Essential Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. The centers may appear slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
