Dee Dee's Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
The chewiest, softest, most delicious chocolate chip cookies you will ever have. There’s one (not so) secret ingredient that makes these cookies perfect. You’ll never need another chocolate chip cookie recipe again.
Ingredients
- ½ cup room temperature butter
- ½ cup butter flavor shortening
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Add butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high for 2 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla to butter and sugar mixture, and beat on low just until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients. Using a sturdy spoon, mix together until combined. Mix in chocolate chips.
- Drop heaping tablespoon-size balls of dough about 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven before cookies start to get golden on the edges, as they will cook more as they sit. This is the key to chewy cookies. Once removed from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt, and let sit for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve warm with a glass of ice cold milk or let cool completely then store in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
