Crispy edges with chewy centers; these are the best extra chewy chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made!

I’ll explain everything you need to know to make the BEST chocolate chips cookies EVER!

Here are 4 tips that always result in the perfect chocolate chip cookie!

🍪 Start with melted butter! Not semi soft, not half melted – we’re talking about liquid butter! Once the butter melts, we’ll combine it with the sugar and whisk, whisking and pausing in between allows the sugar to melt into the butter, creating an even chewier cookie.

🍪 Using a higher ratio of brown sugar to granulated sugar produces a chewier cookie. It also aids in giving these cookies a deeper more intense butterscotchy flavor. You’ll also notice that I use a lot less sugar than most chocolate chip cookie recipes. Since we’re melting the butter and allowing the sugar to melt into it, we can use less sugar while still makes these cookies perfectly sweet. This is something that doesn’t happen when you cream the butter and sugar together. Less sugar dissolves and thus you need more to get the right consistency!

🍪 Let your dough rest! I know, this is the hardest part! But allowing the dough to rest in the fridge for 3-72 hours allows the flour to absorb the moisture from the butter and sugar and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven while they bake. It also helps ‘marinate’ or ‘age’ the dough gives the cookie a more intense flavor than if you were to just combine the ingredients and bake.

🍪 Bang the pan when the cookies are hot out of the oven! This helps knock out the air from the cookies and stops the cooking process. This will ensure that you have a soft and chewy center with the perfect crispy cookie rim!

✨bonus tip: use a large bowl or cookie cutter to gently swirl the cookie around when they’re hot from the oven! This helps give them a picture perfect shape! ✨
