These cozy grandma’s chocolate chip cookies feature perfect chewy centers with slightly crisp edges and melty chocolate chips, delivering a comforting and classic cookie experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet or milk 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 large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with a mixer.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until the dough is glossy and smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
  7. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to control spreading and develop chewy centers.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent spreading and achieve chewy centers. Pull cookies out when edges are golden but centers are still soft to avoid overbaking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. Adding nuts or spices like cinnamon can add variety.
