Full Recipe 👇 💬
INTRODUCTION
Some desserts are just magical.
Some are so soft, gooey, chocolatey, and buttery that one bite instantly transports you to childhood.
These Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies were my grandma’s secret — hidden away in tins or on high shelves — because she knew if we got our hands on them, they wouldn’t last a minute.
And now I completely understand why: warm, melting chocolate, soft centers, slightly crispy edges… it’s impossible to stop at one (or seven).
These cookies are simple to make, yet deliver a bakery-quality taste that keeps everyone coming back.
INGREDIENTS
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
INSTRUCTIONS & METHODS
STEP 1 — Cream Butter & Sugars
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
STEP 2 — Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
STEP 3 — Add Chocolate & Nuts
- Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if using) gently.
STEP 4 — Scoop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop cookie dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
STEP 5 — Bake
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Enjoy one warm while the chocolate is still melty.
HISTORY
Chocolate chip cookies were invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. They quickly became a quintessential American treat.
Grandma-style gooey cookies are a homemade twist — soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the outside — designed to be irresistible. Families often hid them because everyone couldn’t stop sneaking bites before dinner.
FORMATION TIPS
- Don’t overbake: centers should look slightly underdone. They’ll firm up as they cool.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best melt and flavor.
- Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a flavor boost.
