Description

These famous cookies are known for their massive size, gooey centers, and crisp edges. Packed with chocolate chips and nuts, these cookies are a decadent treat perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 225 g (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 200 g (1 cup) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 400 g (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 300 g (1 1/2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 150 g (1 cup) walnuts, coarsely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add the Eggs:
    • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Add the Mix-Ins:
    • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using) with a spatula.
  6. Shape the Cookies:
    • Divide the dough into 8 large balls (about 150 g each). Do not flatten them; keep them tall for a gooey center.
  7. Bake the Cookies:
    • Place 4 cookies on each baking sheet, spaced apart to allow for spreading.
    • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
    • Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience!



Notes

  • To achieve the signature texture, use cold butter and avoid overmixing the dough.
  • If you prefer softer cookies, reduce the baking time slightly. For firmer cookies, bake a minute longer.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
