Here is the classic, absolute best **Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie** recipe. Crispy edges, soft chewy centers, and packed with melted chocolate chips.
## Ingredients
**Yield:** ~24 cookies | **Prep Time:** 15 mins | **Bake Time:** 9-11 mins
| Ingredient | Measurement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Unsalted Butter** | 1 cup (225g / 2 sticks) | Melted and cooled slightly |
| **Brown Sugar** | 1 cup (200g) | Packed (light or dark) |
| **Granulated Sugar** | 1/2 cup (100g) | Adds crispiness to edges |
| **Eggs** | 2 large | Room temperature |
| **Vanilla Extract** | 2 teaspoons | Real extract works best |
| **All-Purpose Flour** | 2 1/4 cups (280g) | Spooned and leveled |
| **Baking Soda** | 1 teaspoon | For lift and browning |
| **Salt** | 1/2 teaspoon | Fine sea salt |
| **Chocolate Chips** | 1 1/2 cups (260g) | Semi-sweet or dark chunks |
## Instructions
1. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula just until combined (do not overmix).
3. Fold in Chocolate
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Chill the Dough (Crucial)
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 to 60 minutes. Chilling prevents the cookies from spreading too flat while baking.
5. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
6. Scoop & Bake
Scoop 1.5-tablespoon balls of dough and place them on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
7. Cool
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
### Baker's Tip for Bakery-Style Looks
Right when they come out of the oven, press 2–3 extra chocolate chips directly into the top of each warm cookie!
