Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter ((16 Tbsp), softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (tightly packed)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (measured correctly*)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (sifted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips ((12 oz), divided reserving 1/4 cup for the top)

Instruction:

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or Silpat liner. In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, combine 2 sticks of butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Beat 5 minutes on medium/high speed until creamy and light, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  2. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well with each addition, scraping down the bowl as needed, then beat in 2 tsp of vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp of baking soda (sifted to eliminate lumps). Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter in thirds, mixing to incorporate with each addition. Fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips.
  4. Use an ice cream scoop to get even balls of dough (3 Tbsp each). Place scoops of dough onto lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Mine fit onto 3 cookie sheets and made 26 cookies. Roll balls lightly with your hands then stud tops of cookie balls with reserved chocolate chips. Bake right away or cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  5. Bake one cookie sheet at a time for 12-15 min at 350˚F (we bake 12 minutes), until edges are just turning golden. The tops should still look under-baked. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet 5 min then transfer to a rack to cool.

Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

FAQ

What is the secret to making cookies soft?

Baking cookies quickly in a hot oven – at 375 degrees F as opposed to a lower temperature – will make for soft results. They’ll bake fast instead of sitting and drying out in the oven’s hot air. Ever so slightly underbaking your cookies will give you softer results than cooking them the full amount the recipe says.

What makes a cookie soft and chewy?

Well, the long and short answer to chewy cookies is it’s all about the moisture content. Cookies that are dense and chewy incorporate more moisture into the batter. This can be achieved by making substitutions with wet and dry ingredients, or even just changing the way you incorporate certain ingredients.

How do you make cookies softer instead of crunchy?

You can wrap the hardened cookie in a damp paper towel, then microwave it for about 10-15 seconds. The warm moisture from the paper towel and the heat from the microwave will help soften the cookie. Just make sure the paper towel isn’t soaking wet, it just needs to be damp.

What causes chocolate chip cookies to be hard?

The most common reason that cookies are tough is that the cookie dough was mixed too much. When flour is mixed into the dough, gluten begins to form. Gluten helps hold baked goods together, but too much gluten can lead to tough cookies.
