Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Some chocolate chip cookie recipes use shortening or egg yolks to get that perfect soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie texture. This one uses dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar -- and more of it. Dark brown sugar has more molasses than light brown sugar. Molasses adds moisture to this chocolate chip cookie recipe, resulting in a more tender chocolate chip cookie.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 10 oz. semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat, parchment paper, or leave ungreased.

  2. With an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy.

  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until well incorporated.

  4. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Mix into the dough, but do not overmix, or the batter will become stiff.

  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.

  6. Drop by oversized tablespoonsful onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10-14 minutes, until set around the edges and just barely set in the middle. The baking time will depend on the size of the cookies. Do not overbake, or the cookies will get hard.
