The Basics of a Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Gooey chocolate chip cookies are a delightful treat known for their soft centers and chewy edges.
To get started, gather the right ingredients and prepare your baking tools for a successful baking experience.
Gathering the Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these cookies:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a mix of dark and milk chocolate)
Start by measuring everything accurately.
The combination of brown and white sugar gives the cookies a rich flavor and perfect texture.
Brown sugar contributes to moisture, making the cookies gooey in the middle.
Don’t forget the chocolate chips, as they’re the star of the show!
Preparing Your Baking Tools
Before you begin mixing your ingredients, gather your baking tools.
You’ll need:
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Electric mixer (or a whisk)
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Cooling rack
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Use a sturdy spatula for scooping cookie dough onto the baking sheets.
The best way to ensure even cookies is to use a cookie scoop.
This helps each cookie to be uniform in size and bake evenly.
Now that you have everything ready, you’re all set to make those delicious gooey cookies!
