Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup bread flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter cool room temperature
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix-ins:
- 1¾ cups chocolate chips or chunks if possible, please use chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for no more than 20–30 seconds. Do not whip until fluffy; the mixture should remain dense.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix only until just combined, about 10–15 seconds. Do not overmix.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. The dough should be thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Scoop the dough into tall mounds, about 2–3 tablespoons each. Form them higher rather than wider to encourage a gooey center.
- Bake for 8–9 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers still look glossy and slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow the centers to set into a gooey texture.
Notes
- Bread flour strengthens the cookie enough to keep the center molten while maintaining height.
- The additional egg yolk adds richness and moisture that enhances the gooey texture.
- Minimal creaming prevents excess air from causing collapse or excessive spread.
- Adding more chocolate slows heat transfer, helping the centers stay soft.
