Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are the epitome of indulgence—soft and gooey in the center with perfectly crisp edges. Crafted with a blend of brown and granulated sugars, they offer a delightful balance of sweetness and depth. The use of melted butter ensures a rich flavor, while the generous amount of chopped dark chocolate chunks provides pockets of melty goodness in every bite. With a simple preparation and a brief chilling time, these cookies are as convenient to make as they are delicious to eat.

Directions:

Fold in the chopped dark chocolate.asassyspoon.com+3asassyspoon.com+3asassyspoon.com+3asassyspoon.comasassyspoon.com+2asassyspoon.com+2asassyspoon.com+2
   
   

2. Chill the Dough: Using a cookie scoop, form dough into balls (approximately 1.5 tablespoons each). Place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. For best results, chilling the dough longer enhances flavor and texture.asassyspoon.com+7asassyspoon.com+7asassyspoon.com+7
   
   

3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the chilled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10–11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.asassyspoon.com+1asassyspoon.com+1
