Big & Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies bake up thick and chewy through the middle, with just a bit of crunch around the edges.
This recipe comes from 201 Recipes You’ll Make Forever from Taste of Home and has become one I return to when I want consistent, dependable results.
You do have to plan ahead if you want to make these since the dough needs to chill overnight. The higher ratio of brown sugar and chilled dough helps control spread and gives the cookies their structure. I omitted the nuts and still got 22 cookies.
These baked up beautifully, huge and full of chocolate chips. I let one tray bake slightly longer than the recipe calls for to get the doneness I prefer for dunking in milk.

Big & Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 21, omitting nuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
- 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (omitted)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- Shape 1/4 cupfuls of dough into balls. Flatten each to 3/4-in. thickness (2-1/2-in. diameter), smoothing edges as necessary. Place in an airtight container, separating layers with waxed or parchment paper; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- To bake, place dough portions 2 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 400°.
- Bake until edges are golden brown (centers will be light), 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
