These chewy chocolate chip cookies are soft, thick, and packed with melty chocolate chips. Perfect for satisfying your cookie cravings with a delightful chewy texture.
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until light and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
