A chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe that skips brown sugar but keeps all the soft, gooey goodness using white sugar and maple syrup or molasses for moisture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or 1 tablespoon molasses (optional but recommended)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure 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 with white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  4. Stir in maple syrup or molasses to the butter and sugar mixture.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing just until combined.
  7. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking.
  10. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for better texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Maple syrup or molasses is key to replicate brown sugar moisture and flavor. Baking just until edges are golden and centers are soft ensures chewy texture. Optional chilling of dough for 30 minutes firms dough and reduces spreading. Use parchment or silicone mats to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
