Golden, soft, and filled with melty chocolate chips — these Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything a cookie should be. With buttery dough, warm vanilla, and that perfect chewy texture, they’re a timeless favorite you’ll bake again and again. Simple ingredients, cozy comfort — simply made.

🛒 Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
Combine: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough: Roll dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
Bake: 9–11 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers look soft.
Cool: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm!

🍽️ Serving Ideas

Serve with a cold glass of milk, or sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies for a cozy dessert twist.

💡 Simply Made Tip

For bakery-style cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking — it helps them bake thicker and chewier!
