Description
Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chunks, making them a perfect treat for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3 Tablespoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Cream together on medium speed with a hand or electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on medium speed until fully combined. The dough will be thick and slightly dry.
- Fold the chocolate chips or chunks into the dough. Use your hands if necessary to fully incorporate as the dough is thick.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure out heaping tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet approximately 2-3 inches apart.
- Press a few extra chocolate pieces into the top of each cookie, if desired.
- Bake for 6 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove the cookies promptly as they can burn quickly.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for maximum gooeyness or microwave for 15 seconds later to enjoy the same texture.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Extra chocolate on top adds to the presentation and gooeyness.
