Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

A mouthwatering chocolate chip cookie with irresistibly crispy, golden-brown edges that give way to a thin, gooey center loaded with melted chocolate chips. Each bite offers a delightful contrast between the crunch of the edges and the rich, buttery chewiness in the middle. The perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors creates a decadent treat that's impossible to resist.

Equipment

Saucepan or Microwave-Safe Dish
Large Mixing Bowl
Parchment Paper
Hand Mixer or Whisk
Spatula
Baking Sheets

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter* melted
1 cup brown sugar
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ½ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled melted butter with brown sugar and white sugar. Use a whisk or beater to mix until fully combined. Add egg + egg yolk and vanilla, mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Don’t over mix.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 325°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough into balls (1 ½ tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.
Bake cookies for 10 minutes, or just until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them off to cool completely. Serve warm with a cold glass of milk!

Notes

Ovens can vary, so it's important to keep a close eye on your cookies. We suggest removing them as soon as they puff up and the edges start to turn golden brown. The centers should still look slightly undercooked. Leaving them in any longer may result in losing that perfectly gooey center you’re aiming for.
