Crumbl chocolate chip cookies recipe - featured image

A beginner-friendly recipe for bakery-style chocolate chip cookies that are crispy on the edges and chewy in the center, using simple pantry ingredients and a perfect balance of sugars and fats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (165 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Mix just until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out dough balls about 2 tablespoons (30 grams) each. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and crisp but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for best texture. Chill dough at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading. Pull cookies out when centers look soft to keep chewiness. Adjust baking time and temperature based on your oven. Variations include gluten-free flour, vegan butter and flax eggs, or adding nuts and spices.
