Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (200g) dark brown sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon molasses (optional but recommended)
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Soften butter to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips gently to keep dough light.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are golden but centers look soft and slightly underbaked.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center for gooey texture. Use fresh brown sugar and softened butter for best results. Optional chilling of dough for 30 minutes improves flavor and prevents spreading. Molasses adds chewiness and depth but can be substituted with honey or dark corn syrup.
