These cookies are not just any cookies; they are rich, chewy, and incredibly satisfying. Perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth or impressing your friends and family.

Extra Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are thick, soft, and packed with chocolate chips. They are perfect for dunking in a glass of milk or enjoying on their own. The secret to their thick texture lies in the dough, which is chilled before baking. This step helps the cookies retain their shape and results in a wonderfully chewy center.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract together until creamy and well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cove the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cookies maintain their thickness when baked.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft. Don’t worry; they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious Extra Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies straight out of the oven or store them in an airtight container for later! Either way, they are sure to be a hit.
