Ultimate Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

4. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

5. Incorporate Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Shape and Place Dough:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving about 2 inches apart.

7. Oven Roast:
- Roast cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Rotate the baking tray halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.

8. Cooling:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
