Print Recipe

A warm, chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe passed down from grandma, featuring a perfect balance of brown and white sugar for chewy texture and rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the 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, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts evenly.
  7. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended).
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened, not melted butter to prevent spreading. Chill dough to improve chewiness and control spreading. Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers still look soft for perfect chewiness. Use quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
