- 1 cup unsalted butter
at room temperature, 226g
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
220g
- ½ cup granulated sugar
95g
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
15ml
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
420g

5g

4g
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
12oz/340g

Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Allow the butter to soften for at least 20 minutes.

Beat the butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes until well creamed. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Stir to combine and slowly add the dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until the dough starts to form. Before the dough thickens, add the chocolate chips. Beat until incorporated. Set aside.

Portion out 6-ounce balls of cookie dough (about a ½ cup of dough). Place 3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes (18 minutes in the sweet spot for me). The center of the cookie should be slightly underbaked but not too gooey or shiny on top. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

About this Recipe
Craving the ultimate chocolate chip cookie experience, thick enough to truly satisfy? These Extra Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies deliver on every promise, boasting nearly half an inch of pure delight.
What sets these cookies apart is their impressive stature and perfectly balanced textures. You'll find a delightful contrast between the buttery, crispy edges and an incredibly gooey, tender center, making each bite a revelation for any chocolate lover.
Prepare for a cookie that truly lives up to its name. Each cookie is generous in size, offering a rich, comforting experience with ample semi-sweet chocolate chips distributed throughout. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by a hint of salt, while the substantial thickness ensures a deeply satisfying chewiness in the middle, complemented by that desirable snap at the edges. They are truly an indulgence, big enough to easily share, but so delicious you might not want to.
While perfect as is, you can personalize these cookies by experimenting with different types of chocolate chips—try milk chocolate or a mix of dark and semi-sweet for varying intensities. For an elevated finish that brightens the rich chocolate, don't forget the optional Maldon sea salt flakes sprinkled on top.
These substantial cookies are ideal for a comforting treat, a special dessert, or sharing with friends and family. They are best enjoyed warm, ideally dunked into a tall, cold glass of milk for the quintessential cookie experience.
