🍪 The Ultimate Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
So good they vanish while still warm…
✨ Introduction
There are cookies… and then there are these cookies. Golden edges, soft centers, pools of melted chocolate, and that irresistible fresh-from-the-oven smell that pulls everyone into the kitchen. These are the kind of cookies that never make it to a storage container—because they’re gone before they cool. Perfect for cozy nights, celebrations, or “just because,” this recipe delivers bakery-style results every single time.
📜 A Little History
Chocolate chip cookies were born in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield added chopped chocolate to cookie dough, expecting it to melt completely. Instead, the chocolate held its shape—and dessert history was made. Since then, the chocolate chip cookie has become a universal symbol of comfort, home, and love. This recipe builds on that classic, with modern techniques for extra softness and flavor.
🧈 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted & slightly cooled
¾ cup brown sugar (for chewiness)
½ cup white sugar (for crisp edges)
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (extra richness)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
The Star
2 cups (340g) chocolate chips or chunks (dark, milk, or a mix)
Optional add-ins:
Chopped walnuts or pecans
Flaky sea salt for topping
🥣 Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a larger bowl, whisk melted butter with both sugars until smooth and glossy.
Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
Gradually fold in dry ingredients—do not overmix.
Stir in chocolate chips generously.
Chill dough for 30–60 minutes (this is key!).
Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Scoop dough into large balls and space well apart on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
Cool for 5 minutes… or eat warm 😍
🔥 Methods (Why This Works)
Melted butter creates a richer, chewier texture
Brown sugar adds moisture and depth
Extra egg yolk gives softness without cakiness
Chilling the dough prevents spreading and intensifies flavor
Underbaking slightly guarantees gooey centers
This method ensures cookies that stay soft even the next day (if they last that long).
🍪 Formation (Shaping the Cookies)
Use a large cookie scoop for bakery-style thickness
Roll dough lightly—don’t pack it tight
For perfect circles, swirl a cup around cookies right after baking
Press a few extra chocolate chunks on top before baking for that “wow” look
