Description
Indulge in these ultra-thick chocolate chip cookies featuring a satisfying crunch on the outside and a gooey melted chocolate center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups chocolate chips (semisweet and dark)
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- Optional for topping: extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, blend the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, mix in the eggs until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding carefully until just combined.
- Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Scoop generous dough balls onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies by a minute or two. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
