Love chocolate chip cookies? You're in good company. As a home baker with years of experience perfecting recipes, my favorites are the oversized, thick ones with a super-soft center and generous chocolate chunks.
Irresistible! That's why I've spent years refining this homemade version for the ultimate moist, chewy texture.
After extensive testing, this is hands-down the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever created. Here's how to make them:
- 260 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 170 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 200 g brown sugar
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 225 g dark chocolate chips (or more for extra indulgence)
- Medium mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Electric mixer
- 2 baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Large ice cream scoop
1. In the medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
2. In the large bowl, use the electric mixer to beat the melted and cooled butter with both sugars for 1 minute.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the large bowl.
5. Mix gently until no flour lumps remain.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips. Your dough should look like this:
7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
8. Preheat oven to 175°C with racks in the center.
9. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
10. Scoop large dough balls using the ice cream scoop.
11. Gently tear each ball in half.
12. Press the halves back together with the torn side up, as shown:
Note: Cookies spread, so space 6-8 per sheet.
13. Bake for 10-14 minutes, rotating sheets halfway.
14. Remove when edges are golden and centers are soft and slightly underbaked.
15. Cool on sheets for 15 minutes until firm.
16. Press extra chips on top for that bakery look.
17. Repeat with remaining dough.
