The Best Soft and Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re a chocolate chip cookie lover, these are for you! Filled with chocolatey goodness and lots of butter, you can’t go wrong! I have the recipe for you! These soft, chewy and gooey chocolate chip cookies are so simple to make. You won’t be able to eat just one! They are so yummy…loaded with butter and chocolate. I mean, it doesn’t get any better!
These cookies have simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, eggs and chocolate chips. That’s all you need and you’ve got some incredible cookies!
We like to make multiple batches of these at once and freeze the pre-portioned dough so all we have to do is grab some cookies out of the freezer and throw them in the oven. Voila! A delicious and simple dessert for any occasion.
Lots of options
These chocolate chip cookies are so delicious as is, but you can add in other ingredients for an extra explosion of flavor. Try adding:
- Chopped nuts (peanuts, walnuts, pecans, etc.)
- Toffee pieces
- Peanut butter chips
- White chocolate chips
- Butterscotch chips
- Coarse salt or salt flakes
- Coconut flakes
How to make these chocolate chip cookies
To make these cookies, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Next, cream together the butter and sugars until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in half of dry ingredients and combine and then add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix the dough until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir in.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 1 scoop of cookie dough and place it on your baking sheet, then scoop a 2nd scoop and place it on top of the 1st scoop and press down lightly. Continue until your sheet is filled. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. Until they just start to turn brown. They will be gooey and look under cooked, but that’s what you want! Let them cool on the baking sheet for two minutes before enjoying or moving.
I’m sure you’ll love these chocolate chip cookies. We sure do!
