Description
🍪 Indulge in thick, chewy centers with crispy edges—the ultimate chocolate chip cookie that stays soft for days.
🍫 Simple pantry ingredients yield bakery-quality results, perfect for any occasion or midnight snack.
Ingredients
– 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour Forms the chewy structure and holds everything together.
– 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps cookies rise and spread just right for crisp edges.
– 1 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances chocolate flavors.
– 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened Creates rich, tender crumb without greasiness.
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar Adds crispness and subtle sparkle to the tops.
– 3/4 cup packed brown sugar Delivers moisture for that signature chewiness.
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Boosts aroma and rounds out sweet notes.
– 2 large eggs Bind ingredients and add lift for soft centers.
– 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips Melty pockets of joy in every bite.
– 1 cup chopped nuts Adds crunch and protein, like walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Notes
💡 Use more brown sugar than white for superior chewiness and moisture.
❄️ Chilling the dough overnight develops deeper flavor and prevents spreading.
🔥 Bake only until edges set—overbaking leads to cakey cookies.
