Ingredients
(Room temperature ingredients recommended)
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup packed brown sugar
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease if preferred.
2️⃣ Dry Ingredients
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugars
In a larger bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4️⃣ Add Eggs & Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
5️⃣ Combine
Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep cookies chewy.
6️⃣ Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7️⃣ Bake
Scoop dough into rounded spoonfuls or use a cookie scoop. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers soft.
8️⃣ Cool
Allow to cool a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
-
Chill the dough 30 minutes for thicker, chewier cookies and deeper flavor.
-
If edges brown too fast, lower the temperature to 340°F and extend baking slightly.
-
Swap chocolate chips for chunks for bigger melty pockets!
-
Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
-
For bakery-style appearance: gently press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
