Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅔ cup (134g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (372g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups (510g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)

Instructions

  • Note: This dough requires chilling.
  • Place melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Add granulated and brown sugars and mix on low speed until the mixture is smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Mix in baking soda and salt, then slowly mix in flour and mix just until the batter is smooth and comes together. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl during mixing. Slowly mix in chocolate chips.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Scoop 1/4 cup balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Spacing doesn’t matter because you will be chilling the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and space them 4-inches apart on the cookie sheets. I baked 4 per cookie sheet. Bake one cookie sheet at a time in the center of the oven, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Only bake for about 10-15 minutes (the top will start to brown almost like a biscuit). Note: These will not get cooked and "done" all the way through - they will stay gooey. Let cool at least 10 minutes on cookie sheet before removing.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month.

Notes

Try using white chocolate chips or a combination of milk, semi-sweet, and white chocolate chips instead of all one flavor. You can even substitute butterscotch or peanut butter chips, or add your favorite nuts. Just keep the amount of add-ins to 3 cups
