Moist, chewy, cookies with melty chocolate chips that only take minutes to prepare and minutes to eat!

I get so many compliments on my chocolate chip cookies and constantly get asked for the recipe. I am sceptical to pass it on, because it is a special recipe. But, I'm going to share it today with a few tips for making them extra chewy and gooey!

You Will Need (9 things)

  • 1 cup Butter , softened
  • 1 cup Light brown Sugar , packed
  • 2 Large Eggs , room temp
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 ¼ cup All purpose Flour
  • 2 cup (1 pkg) semi sweet Chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts

Steps (4 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

    Whisk together baking soda, salt and flour in a small bowl and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time. Beat until well combined.

  2. 2

    Slowly add flour with baking soda. You may need to use some old fashioned elbow grease for this step instead of the electric beater. Unless you have a stand up mixer then it's all quite a breeze. Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts.

  3. 3

    With an ice cream scoop, shape the cookie dough into 1" balls and drop onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

    TIPS FOR SUPER CHEWY COOKIES

    - Use butter instead of margarine, it really does make the difference. Warm your butter until it's almost starting to melt.
    - When you think you're not sure if the cookies are done or not, take them out just before they get golden.
    - Whip the butter and sugar with an electric beater instead of using a spoon, it gives the dough more oomph.
    - Add more chocolate chips - you know you want to.
