These bakery-style cookies are thick and soft, loaded with melty chocolate chips for the perfect cozy night treat. They offer a delightful balance of sweetness and texture, making them an ideal homemade dessert to enjoy warm from the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step ensures a tender, airy texture in the cookies.
  2. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to fully incorporate them into the batter, which helps with structure and moisture.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough, ensuring every bite has chocolate goodness.
  4. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for that perfect chewy texture.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy them warm for melty chocolate or at room temperature for a classic cookie experience.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract during the creaming step.
  • To keep cookies soft longer, store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread.
  • Feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips according to preference.
  • Do not overbake as it will make cookies dry and hard.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help control spreading for thicker cookies.
