Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1¼ cups firmly light brown sugar packed
  • 1½ cups salted butter
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 to 3 cups chocolate chips divided

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. 
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing between each addition. Add vanilla and mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 separate additions.
  5. Stir in 2 cups of the chocolate chips.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. 
  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool and remove from the cookie sheet.

Notes

  • It’s really important to bake these on an ungreased cookie sheet. When baked on parchment paper the texture changes completely and it is more puffy. The ungreased cookie sheet gives these a slightly crisp and golden edge with a slightly undercooked and chewy center.
  • I like to press additional chocolate chips into the top before or right after baking for a really loaded chocolate chip cookie. This accounts for the additional 1 cup of chocolate chips. This is optional!
  • To bake from frozen: Bake directly from the freezer for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degree F or thaw in the refrigerator and bake as you would with a fresh batch.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
