Equipment

  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Stand Mixer and Paddle Attachment
  • Mixing Bowl
  • 13x18" Sheet Pan
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 500 grams all-purpose flour about 4 cups
  • 2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 300 grams light brown sugar about 1 ½ cup, packed
  • 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
  • 2 sticks butter unsalted, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 8-10 oz dark chocolate candy melts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F and generously grease a 13x18” sheet pan (you can use parchment paper, but I find it easier to spread without).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk all-purpose flour, sea salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer add sugars and melted butter, you can mix it together with a spatula, then allow it to sit for a couple minutes to absorb some butter into the sugars.
  • Add eggs and pure vanilla extract and run on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
  • Mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients by running on low for about 1 minute with the paddle attachment (I like to do this in two steps because it is a lot of dry goods and prevents it from flying up).
  • Add chocolate chips to the mixer and run again (I also like to do this in 2 steps for more even distribution).
  • Transfer dough to the prepared pan and spread evenly using an offset spatula or your hands (I like to use a pastry roller).
  • Bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges start to become golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  • Place tray on a wire rack to cool before slicing. I find it easier to slice in the pan, but you can run the chance of scratching your pan; if you want to remove it you can place a wire rack overtop, then flip it, then place a cutting board on top and flip again.
  • Slice into any desired sizes.

Notes

  • Don’t Overbake: The center should stay slightly soft for that gooey texture.
  • Use the Right Pan Size: A half sheet pan (13x18”) gives the best thickness and texture for this recipe.
  • Cool Before Cutting: Let the cookie cool completely so it slices cleanly.
  • Spread Evenly: Keeping the dough in an even layer so it bakes consistently across the pan.
  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze slices in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Warm slightly to bring back the soft, gooey center.
  • Make Ahead: Bake ahead and store until ready to serve.
