The Best Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are the best soft chocolate chip cookies, ensuring a delightful treat that's perfectly chewy.
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- cookie sheet
- microwave
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter
- ½ cup white sugar I like to use raw cane sugar with a coarser texture
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 whole egg
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour (6.75 ounces)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt I always add a little extra
- ¾ cup chocolate chips I use a combination of chocolate chips and chocolate chunks
Instructions
Baking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it.
- Using a stand mixer or electric beaters, beat the butter with the sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg; beat on low speed until just incorporated – 10-15 seconds.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until crumbles form, then press the crumbles together into a dough. Add the chocolate chips and incorporate with your hands.
- Roll the dough into 12 large balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look puffy and dry and just barely golden.
- Let them cool on the pan for a good 30 minutes. They will sink down and turn into dense, buttery, soft cookies.
Notes
These should stay soft for many days if kept in an airtight container. I also like to freeze them.
