Make thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookies with chewy centers and slightly crisp edges using this straightforward recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them for spreading. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls down slightly in the center.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter. Cool the browned butter before creaming it with the sugars.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies stay thick.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for varied texture in the center.
