These chewy chocolate chip cookies are perfect for family baking fun on a snow day, offering a soft, sweet hug with melty chocolate chips and a chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (340 grams) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened unsalted butter with packed brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until fluffy and light.
  4. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth and glossy.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed or fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips gently.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Chill dough for 20 minutes if too sticky to handle.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Edges should be set and just starting to brown, centers still soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Chill dough if sticky to prevent spreading. Bake on middle rack and rotate pans halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to rack to finish cooking. Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated up to 3 days. For extra chewiness, add an extra egg yolk or increase brown sugar slightly.
