Print Recipe

Soft, tender chocolate chip cookies made without brown sugar, using white sugar and a touch of molasses or maple syrup for a cozy, comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon molasses or pure maple syrup (optional but recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses or maple syrup until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Use a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden while centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter that is soft enough to press with your finger but still holds shape. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to prevent tough cookies. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and create thicker cookies. Using parchment paper or silicone mats prevents sticking and helps cookies bake evenly. Molasses or maple syrup adds depth of flavor to mimic brown sugar. For gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
