These soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies feature crisp edges, fudgy centers, and a hint of flaky sea salt. Made with simple pantry ingredients, they are quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226g) Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) Granulated White Sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups (340g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Flaky Sea Salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and kosher salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
  9. Immediately remove from oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is room temperature but not melted. Do not overbake to maintain chewiness. For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep soft.
