A delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that achieves the perfect crispy edges and chewy centers without using brown sugar, substituting with granulated sugar and honey or molasses.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or molasses
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in honey (or molasses) and vanilla extract.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is glossy and smooth.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and crisp but centers are still soft and slightly underbaked.
  10. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to lock in chewiness.

Notes

Use softened (not melted) butter for best texture. Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies. Slightly underbake cookies for chewy centers. Chill dough if sticky. Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and promote even browning. Start checking cookies at 9 minutes to avoid overbaking.
