Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup (150g) white sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups (270g) chocolate chips
Optional Mix-ins
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Cream the softened butter with both brown and white sugars until light and fluffy, creating the perfect base for your dough. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract to infuse the dough with aromatic sweetness.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to ensure a tender texture without overmixing.
- Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and optional nuts, distributing them evenly to guarantee every bite has bursts of gooey chocolate and crunchy nutty bits.
- Bake in a deep dish pan: Press the cookie dough evenly into a greased deep dish pan, smoothing the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set but still soft.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape. Serve warm or at room temperature for the ideal chewy experience.
Notes
- Chill your dough before baking to prevent spreading and ensure thickness and texture.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for a smoother, easier to combine dough.
- Do not overbake; pull out when the center just looks set to keep gooey softness.
- Try using ceramic or glass pans to influence baking time and crust thickness.
- Customize mix-ins with candies or spices like cinnamon to make this recipe your own.
