Martha Stewart-Inspired Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies


  • Author: Veda Sankaran, Adapted from Martha Stewart

Description

There’s nothing better than a warm, gooey, and chewy chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven.


Ingredients

Scale

For classic chocolate version: 

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 12 oz (2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips

For the white chocolate strawberry version: 

  • Sub milk chocolate chips for 12 oz (2 cups) white chocolate chips
  • Add 1/3 cup freeze dried strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine flour and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, using a paddle attachment, beat the butter with both the white and brown sugars for about 3 minutes.
  4. Then place in salt, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix until just combined.
  5. Set the speed to low as you gradually add in the flour mixture. Mix only until just combined.
  6. Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips.
  7. Use a small ice cream scoop to place heaping cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Place in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are still soft.
  9. Once cookies come out of the oven, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the white chocolate strawberry version:

  1. Follow the same instructions, except add white chocolate chips instead of the semisweet chocolate chips.
  2. Fold in the freeze dried strawberries by hand instead of using the mixer.
