These quick chewy chocolate chip cookies require no chilling and come together in under 30 minutes. They are soft in the center with slightly crisp edges and stay that way for days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter in 30-second bursts until fully liquid. Let cool for 2 minutes.
  3. Add 1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar to the melted butter. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute until smooth and slightly thickened.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and pale and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Pour dry ingredients into wet mixture. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. A few streaks of flour are okay.
  7. Fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion dough and place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Do not flatten.
  9. Bake one sheet at a time on the middle rack for 9 to 11 minutes. Cookies should look puffed, golden around edges, and soft in the center.
  10. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, let melted butter cool for 2-3 minutes before adding eggs. Do not overmix dough. Pull cookies from oven when edges are golden and centers are still soft. For bakery-style crinkly tops, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking (optional).
