Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Rich, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies made with a blend of brown and granulated sugars, butter, and a mix of chocolate chips for a perfectly balanced sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 tbsp (3 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp malted milk powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Add vanilla extract and molasses; mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together bread flour, all-purpose flour, malted milk powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Scrape down the bowl and fold in both types of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (177°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best texture, do not overbake; the cookies should look slightly underdone when removed. Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes can enhance the flavor. Using a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips creates a balanced sweetness and melty texture.
