Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain soft. They will continue to cook as they cool.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour; this keeps the cookies tender.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
• Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste.

Easy Variations

• Add 1 cup of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for a crunchy texture.
• Substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile.
• Incorporate ½ cup of oats for a heartier cookie.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for the classic pairing.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
• A cup of coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy treat.
