Treat yourself to a homemade batch of chocolate chip cookies with no brown sugar needed! These cookies are full of flavor and the perfect balance of sweetness, making them an irresistible treat.
Preheat oven to 375f and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 1 cup of softened, unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for at least 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally until completely combined.
Add 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of coarse kosher salt.
Add dry ingredients to mixing bowl and stir on low speed until completely combined. I like to add 1 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips when the dry ingredients are about half incorporated - this ensures that the dough does not get over mixed
Use a #40 cookie scoop or make cookie dough balls about 1 1/2 tablespoons in size. Space on prepared baking sheet. Press extra chocolate chips into the top of each cookie, if desired.
Bake at 375f for 10-12 minutes, or until edges and bottoms are slightly darkened and golden brown in color.
Allow baked cookies to rest on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring cookies to the cooling rack.
Notes
Batch:
A single batch makes about 5 dozen delicious cookies. It can easily be halved or doubled based on how many chewy chocolate chip cookies you want or need! Personally, I like to double my batches and save some for later. See the make ahead section below for more information.
Storage:
For best results, store your delicious chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze flat on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag or container for storage up to 3 months.
