Description
Delicious cookies with crispy edges and a gooey center, loaded with chocolate for a satisfying treat.
Ingredients
- 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 (mix of semisweet and dark)
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- Optional: Extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips gently until well combined.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to place rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out for even baking.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure butter is melted but not too hot. Chilling the dough is key to thick cookies. Experiment with different chocolates and add nuts for variation.
