Ultimate Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   Prepare your cookie sheets by either greasing them or lining them with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then set this dry blend aside for later.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine packed brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, and white sugar.

5. Step 5

   With an electric mixer, beat this mixture until it transforms into a smooth and creamy delight.

6. Step 6

   Next, introduce the egg, egg yolk, and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, reminiscent of a cloud.

7. Step 7

   Gradually fold in the flour mixture, stirring gently until just combined—remember, overmixing is the enemy of perfect cookies.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to add the star of the show: semisweet chocolate chips.

9. Step 9

   Fold them in until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, ensuring every bite is a chocolatey treasure.

10. Step 10

    Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for that delightful spreading during baking.

11. Step 11

    Slide the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

12. Step 12

    The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but fear not—they will continue to firm up as they cool.

13. Step 13

    Once baked to perfection, let the cookies rest on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

14. Step 14

    Enjoy the sweet aroma and the anticipation of indulging in your homemade cookies!.
