Ingredients diff

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Steps diff

  • Heat the oven to 350F and line two sheet pans with parchment.
  • Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs and vanilla.
  • Fold in dry ingredients until just combined, then stir in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop generous dough mounds onto the pans, leaving space for spread.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and centers are still soft; cool on pan 5 minutes.

Technique notes diff

  • Creaming butter and sugar | Air incorporation helps structure and even baking. | It supports chewy centers with light crisp edges.
  • Temperature control before and during bake | Consistent dough and oven temperature regulates steam release, set rate, and browning kinetics. | This recipe depends on crisp structure and even doneness rather than uneven browning.
