Okay guys. I must say,
this is the best chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have ever made.
They are extra soft.
Extra thick.
Extra gooey.
And extra chocolatey.
I have so many fond childhood memories of warm cookies baking in the oven on a chilly afternoon. Or being cheered up with a plate full of chocolate chip cookies and and tall glass of milk after a tough day. Or baking cookies on Christmas Eve for Santa Claus. Or baking with my Mom after school.
And just like his Momma,
my Wesley looooves a good chocolate chip cookie.
The chewier, the better.
But no matter what…time after time, they never turned out how I hoped they would…they were just off. Too hard. Not sweet enough. Too sweet. Not salty enough. Or too flat. I couldn’t seem to find a recipe that was just right. So I decided to ask a bunch of my baking expert gal pals for their advice on baking the perfect cookie. They all had amazing tips to offer, and after a few test batches using a dear friends recipe, I finally settled on a recipe and technique that was PERFECT.
For a the complete version of this recipe check out the amazing blog, Sally’s Baking Addiction (you’ll be addicted to it)!
Here are my friend’s TIPS for PERFECT chewy, gooey, fluffy cookies:
- Christy’s Tip: Use the BEST chocolate available, NOT the chocolate on sale. The better the chocolate the more rich and smooth the flavor. My favorite are the Semi-Sweet Ghirardelli Premium Baking Chips. Christy also recommends using Guittard milk chocolate.
- Christy’s Second Tip: Remove the cookies from the oven when they are still soft. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet for a bit–but pulling them out early will keep them nice and chewy.
- Brittney’s Tip: Use parchment paper! No matter how great your baking sheets, use parchment paper to make sure your cookies aren’t overcooked on the bottom. Also, don’t reuse your parchment paper. Be sure to use a fresh sheet for each batch.
- Brittney’s Second Tip: Use melted butter instead of chilled or room temperature butter.
- Gillian’s Tip: Use high quality vanilla extra, and add a little bit extra (see exact amounts in recipe below). Gillian recommends William Sonoma’s vanilla extract–I didn’t have any, so I used some I purchased in Mexico.
- Tips from Magazines: Add a small amount of corn starch to increase cookie softness and thickness (see exact amount in recipe below). Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking.

Thank you for sharing this recipe, will definitely try, the cookies look very delicious and chewy in your photos. I just need to work out the cup conversion to English weights. My son used an American recipe to make cheesecake recently. We had trouble with the measurements and ended up with three cheesecakes, which I guess is not so bad!
Nikki
MargaretI have the opposite problem. I use this site and then just keep a list with my recipes of the conversions I use all the time.

Christy is absolutely right. The chocolate makes all the difference. I’ve tried every chocolate chip brand on the grocery store shelf and Ghirardelli is the only chocolate chips I will buy now. One thing I have found to make good chewy cookies is the silicone baking mats. The cookies come out soft every time; no parchment paper or corn starch needed.

Those look insanely good! Think I’ll be making a batch this weekend for my cheat day;)

Yummy! Another trick that my aunt taught me is after you bake your cookies, let them cool, and once you put them in a tupperwear container (etc.)…to put a slice of bread in with them too! Sounds weird, I know! But, it totally works! The cookies absorb the moisture from the bread…and it keeps them chewy! (The slice of bread will become has hard as a rock!) Try it – I promise it works! xo
Jennifer
JudithFor over 20 years I’ve used this trick. Whenever I buy Oreos I put them in a cookie jar and add a slice of white bread and it makes them wonderfully soft. I know I’m weird for preferring Oreos soft 🙂

Those look amazing! Does it matter if you live in higher elevation? I used to live in CA and my cookies always turned out great but then I moved to Utah and they always turn out flat. Would I need to adjust the recipe since I am in higher elevation?
