A simple and flexible recipe for soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies made without brown sugar, using granulated sugar and a touch of molasses or maple syrup for moisture and depth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses or maple syrup (optional but recommended; can substitute with honey)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the molasses or maple syrup until blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are light golden and centers look slightly underbaked but set.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk or water. If too wet, add a little extra flour. Use room temperature eggs for best results. Watch bake time closely to keep cookies chewy. Chilling dough for 30 minutes helps control spread and enhances flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture.
