Description
Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with golden edges and melty chocolate. Perfect for busy families or quick desserts.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla powder
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until fluffy and creamy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla powder until smooth.
Add flour mixture in two additions, mixing on low speed until no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in chocolate chips and optional chopped dark chocolate.
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls, spacing 2 inches apart on prepared sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain soft.
Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra melty pockets, add 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate.
Refrigerate dough for 24 hours for richer flavor; let sit 30 minutes before baking.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 days.
Best served with vanilla ice cream.
