Here’s a gooey, soft-centered chocolate chip cookie recipe that stays chewy with melty chocolate in every bite 🍪
🍫 Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients (makes ~12 cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted & slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or milk)
Instructions
- Preheat oven
350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Mix wet ingredients
Whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla; whisk until glossy. - Add dry ingredients
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. - Fold in chocolate
Reserve a few chips to press on top before baking. - Scoop & bake
Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each).
Bake 9–11 minutes — centers should look slightly underbaked. - Cool slightly
Let cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes to set, then transfer.
🔥 Gooey Secrets
- Extra egg yolk = richer, softer center
- Underbake slightly for that gooey middle
- Use chocolate chunks for bigger melty pockets
- Chill dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies (optional)
If you want, I can share a bakery-style giant cookie, a stuffed Nutella version, or a no-chill 20-minute version 😄
