Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ah, the chocolate chip cookie! This glorious golden-brown, mouthwatering masterpiece serves up pure joy and brings a smile to your face with every scrumptious bite. Its slightly crisp edges give way to a wonderfully chewy center, where those decadent semi-sweet chocolate chips melt into gooey pools of pure happiness. The irresistible aroma wafts through the air like a cozy warm hug, sweetly whispering promises of delightful indulgence. Each cookie is a delectable combination of rich, buttery goodness, a sprinkling of brown sugar, and a hint of vanilla that joyfully dances on your taste buds. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven, when they are still warm and gooey, or perfectly stored for later munching, this classic treat is a timeless delight that never fails to satisfy even the biggest of cravings. Perfect for sharing with friends and family, or better yet, for savoring all by yourself—just be sure to keep one hand ready for a refreshing glass of cold milk!

I love chocolate chip cookies and I’ve tried many different variations from crunchy to soft, browned butter to soft butter. These chunky chocolate chip cookies are absolutely AMAZING, I may be biased in saying that but they are so soft with their crisp edges. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 16

A warm, golden-brown cookie with a soft, chewy center and pockets of melted chocolate chips that create a perfect balance of sweet and rich flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cold salted butter (2 sticks) cut into cubes
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cup cake flour
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ tsp salt
• 2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line the cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, brown sugar, and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy ( 3-4 minutes).
2. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between until just combined then and vanilla extract.
3. Mix the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
4. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the stand mixer and mix until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix! The dough will be thick.
5. Add the chocolate chips and fold into the batter with a spatula.
6. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop chunky scoops of dough and don't level the dough (the scoop will have extra chunky dough on top). Place the rounded side of the dough ball on the cookie sheet leaving the chunky part on the top. Place 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies become golden brown on the edges but still gooey in the middle.
8. Allow time to cool before serving— the hardest part.
