Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here’s a delicious recipe for gooey chocolate chip cookies that you can bake up in no time!

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars (granulated and brown) using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Add chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart as they will spread a little.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after you remove them from the oven, so don’t overbake!
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy the gooey, melty chocolate!

Chill the dough: If you want your cookies to be even gooier, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
Use a mix of chocolate chips: Try using a combination of semi-sweet, milk, and dark chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Don’t overbake: Pull the cookies out of the oven when they’re still soft in the center for a gooey texture.
