The Internet’s Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
There’s something magical about biting into a chewy chocolate chip cookie that’s perfectly golden on the edges yet soft and gooey in the center. With a prep time of just 25 minutes and a quick 12-minute bake, you’re moments away from a treat that’s as satisfying to make as it is to eat.
Equipment
- electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ cups bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
Instructions
- Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the butter until softened at high speed, roughly 1 minute.
- Add the sugars and olive oil and cream until light and fluffy, around 4-5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition until well combined.
- Lastly, add in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients into the butter mix and stir to combine.
- Lastly, stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate.
- Chill the cookie dough for a minimum of 4 hours but for best results chill overnight. (See my notes above about aging doughs.)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line trays with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Using a tablespoon measure, scoop a heaped tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
- Place on the baking tray 3 inches apart.
- Bake for roughly 12-13 minutes or until lightly golden brown but still doughy in the middle. (I like to bake one tray at a time for the best baking.)
- When the cookies are fully baked bash the pan on a hard surface to create those crinkles.
- I like to eat them fresh from the oven while the chocolate is still melty.
- Once the cookies are cool store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- To refresh them the next day I actually pop them bake in a hot oven for just a few minutes and they are just like freshly baked cookies again.
