Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
    • Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
  2. Combine dry ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
    • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Chill the dough:
    • Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours). This helps enhance the flavor and prevent spreading during baking.
  4. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  5. Shape the cookies:
    • Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized portions of dough (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For even softer cookies, replace 2 tablespoons of flour with cornstarch.
  • Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
