How to Make OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (+ a few extra tablespoons if needed)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or sea salt
- 3 cups chocolate chips (any variation of chocolate chips or chocolate chunks)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick spray.
- Partially melt the butter: microwave it halfway or place it in a metal bowl in the preheating oven until half melted. Let it cool.
- Beat the cooled butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until everything is combined. If the dough is too wet, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time (do not exceed 3 extra tablespoons).
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough (1/4 cup for large cookies or 1.5 tablespoons for medium cookies) onto the baking sheets, leaving space for spreading. Press them slightly and add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake one tray at a time: 10–12 minutes for large cookies or 8–9 minutes for small cookies. Cool them on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container. This recipe makes 1 dozen large cookies or 2 dozen small cookies.
How to Serve OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tips to Make OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Make sure your butter is soft but not completely melted for the best texture.
