This recipe delivers perfectly thick, soft, and chewy cookies with a simple tweak of chilling the dough and using the right flour. Quick and easy to make, these cookies are a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  8. Scoop dough balls (about 2 tablespoons or 30 grams each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough for at least 1 hour is key to preventing cookies from spreading too thin and keeping them thick and chewy. Do not overmix once flour is added to avoid tough cookies. For thicker cookies, gently flatten dough balls before baking. Use middle rack for even baking and adjust temperature if oven runs hot.
