Follow this easy recipe to make ultra thick, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies with slightly crispy edges. This homemade cookie recipe requires no chill time and delivers bakery style results quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Scoop large balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. For extra thick cookies, gently press the dough balls down slightly in the center.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underdone.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best thick cookie results, use room temperature eggs and slightly softened, but not melted, butter.
  • If you prefer a deeper flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter, cooled slightly before creaming with the sugars.
  • To achieve crispy edge soft center cookies, slightly underbake them; they will firm up as they cool.
  • If your dough seems too soft, chilling it for 15 minutes can help prevent spreading, even though this is a no chill recipe.
