Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Total time: 1 Hour
  • Servings: 2-3 Dozen

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 4 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunk, or milk chocolate
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate Chunk, or your preference

Directions

  • 1)

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • 2)

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste has formed with no lumps.

  • 3)

    Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.

  • 4)

    Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix too much. This will cause the gluten in the flour to toughen which will result in cakier cookies.

  • 5)

    Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.

  • 6)

    Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.

  • 7)

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.

  • 8)

    Cool completely.
