Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate & Extras:
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
  1. Gradually add dry ingredients: Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing.
  2. Fold in chocolate and nuts: Gently mix in chocolate chunks and nuts (if using).
Step 3: Chill the Dough
  1. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes: Chilling helps develop flavor and prevents excessive spreading.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop dough: Use an ice cream scoop to portion dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes: Edges should be golden while the center remains slightly soft.
  4. Cool before serving: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips for the Best Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • Use chunks instead of chips for extra gooey texture.
  • Chill overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Experiment with different chocolates—milk, dark, or white.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain softness.

These cookies are a dream come true for chocolate lovers—crispy on the outside, irresistibly gooey on the inside. Enjoy! 🍪🍫✨
