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, see ** in directions below–I used 2 extra tablespoons)
- 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 your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with non-stick spray.
- Partially melt the butter by microwaving it halfway or placing it in a metal bowl in the preheating oven until it is half melted. Allow it to cool.
- Beat the cooled butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined. If the dough seems too wet, add flour one tablespoon at a time (do not exceed three extra tablespoons).
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets—use 1/4 cup for large cookies and 1.5 tablespoons for medium ones—leaving space for them to spread. Press the dough slightly and add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Bake one tray at a time; large cookies need about 10-12 minutes, while small cookies bake for 8-9 minutes. Let them cool on a wire rack.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container. This recipe makes 1 dozen large cookies or 2 dozen small ones.
How to Serve OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are delicious on their own, but you can serve them warm right from the oven with a glass of milk for the ultimate treat. Pair them with ice cream for a cookie sundae, or enjoy them alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a sweet afternoon snack.
How to Store OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay soft and tasty for several days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply place the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for several months!
