These crispy chewy grandma’s chocolate chip cookies offer the perfect balance of crisp edges and soft, chewy centers. Made with simple pantry staples, this easy recipe requires no chilling time and delivers nostalgic comfort food results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (mix of semi-sweet and milk)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and pale.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mix in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Use a spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened but not melted to prevent excessive spreading. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness. Dough can be frozen for later baking.
