Make the best homemade chocolate chip cookies that are thick, soft, and chewy with slightly crispy edges. This easy recipe requires no chill time and delivers bakery-style results in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker cookies, slightly mound the dough.
  8. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half the butter with browned butter. Let the butter cool slightly before creaming with the sugars.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate chunks for varied texture and gooey pockets.
  • If you prefer crispier edges, bake for an extra minute or two.
  • This recipe is designed to be mixed by hand if you do not have an electric mixer.
