Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies begin with a dry mix of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt that balances leavening and flavor. The butter and sugars are creamed until light and fluffy, then combined with egg and vanilla for moisture and flavor. Adding the flour mixture just until combined helps retain a tender texture.
The dough incorporates semi-sweet chocolate chips and is divided into six portions, shaped into balls, and refrigerated covered to chill and prevent spreading, resulting in thicker cookies when baked. Baking at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes creates a set, golden crust with a slightly soft center typical of this cookie style.
This approach yields cookies that hold their shape well and offer a chewy, satisfying consistency with a classic chocolate chip flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons butter 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons), softened, unsalted
- 2/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 ounce chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
- Add the flour mixture and beat at medium speed just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.Note: the dough will be very firm and a bit crumbly but should form a ball when pressed together.
- Split the dough into six equal portions and shape each into a ball. Tip: use a round ½ cup measuring cup to make it easier to shape each cookie dough ball.
- Place the dough balls on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes until set and golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.The cookies can be served warm or at room temperature.
