Step 4: Chill the Dough

  1. Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours). Chilling enhances the flavors and helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.

Step 5: Bake the Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop the chilled dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls (or use a cookie scoop). Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers look slightly underbaked.Ezoic

Step 6: Cool and Serve

  1. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Enjoy warm for the ultimate gooey experience or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

✨ Tips for Perfect Cookies

  • Don’t skip browning the butter: It adds an irresistible nutty flavor that elevates the cookies.
  • Chill the dough: This step prevents the cookies from spreading too much and enhances the flavor.
  • Underbake slightly: The cookies will continue to set as they cool, resulting in a soft and chewy texture.
  • Use a mix of chocolate chips: Combine semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate for extra decadence.

🌟 Variations

  • Add nuts: Fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt: A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking adds a gourmet touch.
  • Make it gluten-free: Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
