Good n' Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cookies and Bars

I normally prefer my chocolate chip cookies thin and crisp. However, I do sometimes get a hankerin' for a chewy change of pace. When I get that hankerin'....this is the recipe I turn to. Truly the best chewy chocolate chip cookies that I've ever made.

"I make these cookies all the time! My children absolutely love to help us make them. As far as the sugar goes, I think it is just right. If we want very rich cookies, I go with dark brown sugar. If we want lighter cookies, we go with light brown sugar. Either way, they are so incredible! Warm them up and put a dollop of ice cream over top and you have an excellent dessert. Absolutely the best cookies that turn out perfect every time.

As far as my time goes, it is because I end up making 3 different trays of cookies with the recipe, so the bake time is 15 minutes times 3 trays." - vbchjewel

Servings          
Original recipe makes 18 Servings
2 cupsAll-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoonBaking soda
1/2 teaspoonSalt
3/4 cupunsalted butter; melted
1 cupbrown sugar; packed
1/2 cupSugar
1 tablespoonVanilla extract
1 Egg
1 Egg yolk
2 cupssemisweet chocolate chips; (I use Ghirardelli)

Good n' Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets or line with either parchment paper or silicon baking pads (e.g., Silpad).

Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown and white sugars until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Chill the dough, then drop 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned. Check the cookies after 7 or 8 minutes and rotate the baking sheet for even browning. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Make Ahead Note:

If you want to have ready-to-bake cookies, you can drop cookie dough onto baking sheets covered with wax paper or parchment paper and place in the freezer until the dough is firm. Then, place frozen cookie dough in a plastic bag and keep frozen until ready to bake. Expect the frozen cookies to take a little longer time to bake than normal.

  • Big hit with my nephew and my husband, but instead of chocolate chips I used plain m&m's. After rolling dough onto a ball I topped the balls w a few m&m's, this allowed for that nice round cookie look and the candies remained perfectly on top! ....also or those nut lovers, w/ another batch I added walnuts.....super yummy!! photo by Adriana78 Adriana78

    I've found this recipe all over the internet, each one the same, which is peculiar when dealing with baking. I recently acquired a foolproof cookbook from the library that had this recipe again, except that it adds two tablespoons of ap flour. Just the two tbsp does wonders to the somewhat loose dough with only the two cups. It even eliminates the need to chill. (Even though this enhances the thickness, if only slightly)

    These are amazing! Sometimes I'll add nuts and caramel bits to the recipe, and they're delicious!! I've tried several different recipes and these are my favorite. When I half the recipe I also simply use one egg!!

    These cookies were great and so simple to make! I found them a tiny bit on the cake-y side rather than the usual chewy chocolate chip cookie texture so I might have done something wrong, but they tasted awesome!
