by

Introduction

These cookies are the ones that make everyone say “OMG!” after the first bite. They’re thick but chewy in the center, crisp around the edges, and full of gooey chocolate chips that melt perfectly. Whether you’re baking for family, friends, or just yourself, this recipe will become your forever favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or mix with milk and dark for extra decadence)
  • (Optional) 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). This step adds air and makes your cookies soft and tender.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined (don’t overmix!).

Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate

Using a spatula, fold in your chocolate chips (and nuts if using). Make sure they’re evenly distributed through the dough.

Step 5: Chill the Dough (Optional but Powerful!)

For the best texture and flavor, cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps prevent spreading and intensifies the cookie flavor.

Step 6: Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
(They’ll firm up as they cool!)

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

Let cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm for melty magic or store in an airtight container once cool.
