These chewy chocolate chip cookies feature gooey centers and melty chocolate pockets, perfect for a cozy treat or family gatherings. The recipe combines all-purpose and bread flour for the ideal chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (65 g) bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed (220 g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand with a spatula.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look soft and slightly underdone.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For gooey centers, pull cookies out when edges are golden but centers are still soft. Chill dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much. Cookies taste better the next day as flavors meld. Can be adapted for gluten-free or dairy-free diets by substituting flours and butter.
