The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are a few secrets to the best classic, chewy chocolate chip cookies. Number one: Don’t use
chips; instead, opt for a mix of milk or semisweet and dark chocolate chunks. The second is to let the
dough rest overnight or longer for a more complex, toffee-like flavor. Lastly, use an ice cream scooper
to get even-sized cookies every time. And that’s it! With these little tweaks, the result is a cookie that’s
textured on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside. Absolutely perfect!

Preparation
1 In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lump

2 Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a
short while before falling back into the mixture.

3 Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to
overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).

4 Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more
intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough
rests, the more complex its flavor will be.

5 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6 Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet,
leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space
from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.

7 Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.

8 Cool completely before serving.

9 Enjoy!
