Giant Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies
My take on the classic chocolate chip cookies means giant, deeply gooey in the middle, and perfectly crisp just around the edges. Using melted butter gives them a rich chew, while the mix of milk and dark chocolate creates those cozy, melty pockets in every bite. Chilling the dough is non-negotiable so they don't spread!
Ingredients
- 100 g granulated sugar (½ cup)
- 150 g light brown sugar, packed (¾ cup)
- 113 g salted butter (1 stick)
- 1 large egg + 1 large yolk
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (10 ml)
- 206 g all-purpose flour
- 85 g milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 100 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- Extra chocolate for topping

Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and glossy.
- Whisk in the whole egg until fully emulsified, followed by the egg yolk. The mixture should look thick and silky.
- Whisk in the salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour in two additions, folding gently with a spatula just until combined. Stop as soon as there are no dry streaks, overmixing will steal the softness.
- Fold in the milk chocolate and dark chocolate chunks, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or ideally overnight. This rest time makes sure the cookies don't spread.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 177°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop or weigh out about 100 g of dough per cookie. Add some cut up chocolate chunks to the top of each cookie. Place cookies on the tray, leaving plenty of space, then gently flatten the tops with your palm.
- Bake for 14–15 minutes (Check at 13 minutes), until the edges are golden and set, but the centers still look slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes before moving. They’ll firm up just enough while staying gooey inside.
Cozy Notes
- These cookies are best enjoyed warm, when the chocolate is still melty.
- For extra drama, press a few chocolate chunks on top before baking.
- Leftovers can be reheated for 10–15 seconds in the microwave to bring back the gooey center.
