Description

The richest, thickest and chewiest of chocolate chip cookies!

Made with ingredients that you already have at home.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 6 Tablespoons White Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 cup Plus 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1-¼ cup Chocolate Chips (I Use Milk Chocolate)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. In a medium bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugars, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the egg. Scrape down the bowl using a rubber spatula and beat for a few more seconds.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low speed just until absorbed.
4. Measure the chocolate chips or chunks into a small bowl and stir them into the dough.
5. Shape the dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls and drop them about 3 inches apart onto baking sheets.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden.

*Note: only use 1 cup of chips if you prefer that they are not SUPER chocolaty.

OK…because of the comments, I want to make these and see how they turn out…I have been looking for a thick CHEWY cookie, I’ll follow your suggestions.
thanks

Please let me know if you decide to try again and if it worked, I’m so sorry yours were flat! If you make the balls of dough larger too this will help. I hope they still were tasty and chewy although they were not thick!

Whenever I bake almost anything, I always put the flour in small increments (1/2 cup at a time) because the gluten that flour has. Also, sometimes if you put your dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes prior to baking it will help (although I did not do this for this recipe).

The only other suggestion is when you roll them into balls, make them larger 1.5 inches. They should stay pretty thick.

I don’t now what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out nothing like your picture. They were flat and not thick at all. Any tips would be appreciated!

I just made these and followed your suggestions about flour and ball size, I didn’t put the dough in the fridge. I always make at least one test cookie first.. my first one turned out flat so I added about 2 TBSP. more of flour & with this they turned out thick & chewy at 11 mins. I got 16 nice size cookies, I really like the small batch size. So all in all this is a good recipe…just the right amount of chips too.
thank you

Delicious cookies, but I think my cookies had too much chocolate and not enough dough. They ended up a little on the thin side.
