6 min chocolate chip cookie recipe! For the ooey-gooey cookie lovers.
What is the most popular chocolate chip cookie? These are it! Ultra-thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies feature golden brown edges with warm chocolate-filled centers. This easy recipe can be made LESS than 30 minutes! In fact, they only bake for 6-8 minutes. The smell of freshly baked cookies just fills your home with the most mouth-watering aroma ever.
Chocolate chip cookies are my weakness. I’ve baked my share of cookies in my 29 years, but out of all the cookie recipes I have ever shared, these cookies are my favorite. It’s a foolproof recipe, that results in the best cookies over and over and over again.
What you will need:
Baking sheets
Parchment paper
Two mixing bowls (one for dry ingredients and a larger one for wet ingredients)
Electric handheld mixer
Spoon
Sugar – We use brown sugar and white granulated sugar. Butter – 1 stick of cold butter (no need to let the butter come to room temp!). Egg – Just one egg (can substitute this for 1/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce. Vanilla – Vanilla is the flavor booster in cookies. Baking Soda – Helps keep homemade cookies soft and tender Corn Starch – Makes the cookies full and thick Salt – All baked goods need salt, it helps balance the sweetness. Chocolate Chips – 1 FULL bag of chocolate chips. Yes, you could use less… but why? Flour – I used all-purpose for this recipe.
Measurements:
1¼ cups flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cold butter (1 stick of butter is usually 1/2 cup)
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips. About 10-11 oz (or 1/2 a bag if you want less chocolate)
¼ cup walnut pieces (optional)
Let's Get Started!
Preheat oven to 475°
Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking
In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda
Cut the stick of butter into smaller pieces (as seen in the video)
In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract
Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture (as seen in the video)
Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined
Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet
Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep you eye on them:)
Remove from the oven and let them cool. They’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool
For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled!
Important things to remember!
Do Not Over Mix the Dough – Over mixing will result in dry, crumbly, and hard cookies.
Do Not Over Bake Them – I bake mine at a high temp and for only 6 minutes. They continue to cook while they cool but you can still eat them before they’re fully cooled for the softest cookies EVER!
I like to make mine using a combination of chocolate chips and a few walnuts (which are optional). These chocolate chip cookies are so soft, moist, and with a richness to the dough like no other cookies, I’ve tried. Plus, there are no funny ingredients, no chilling, etc. Just a simple, straightforward, amazingly delicious, doughy yet still fully cooked, chocolate chip cookie that turns out perfectly every single time!
