These classic thick chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, with buttery edges, and lots of chocolate chips in every bite. It’s the kind of recipe you make once and want to make again and again.
This recipe comes straight from my grandmother’s kitchen. She made these cookies all the time when I was growing up. They’re thick, chewy, and always disappear fast. Perfect for when you want an easy dessert or quick snack.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
How To Make Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Add the butter and sugar to your mixing bowl and cream them together.
Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well until you have a soft dough.
Add chocolate chips and stir until they are just mixed through the dough.
Drop by the tablespoon onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
Storage & Freezing Tips
Room Temperature: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To keep them extra soft, add a slice of bread inside the container.
Freezing Cookie Dough: Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet until firm. Then transfer them to a freezer bag or an airtight container for up to 3 months. You can bake them straight from frozen, just add one or two minutes to the baking time.
Freezing Baked Cookies: Let your chocolate chip cookies cool completely. Then layer them between parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy homemade cookies.
