Ingredients

20 servings

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour & ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt
¾ cup (1.5 sticks / 170g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup (200g) granulated white sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature egg & extra egg yolk (for chewiness!)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1.5 cups (255g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, **whisk melted butter and granulated white sugar** until smooth.

Whisk in egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract until glossy and thickened. (The extra egg yolk provides the moisture normally supplied by brown sugar molasses!)

Gently fold in AP flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined. **Fold in chocolate chips**.

Scoop 1.5 tbsp dough balls onto sheets. **Bake at 325°F for 10 to 12 minutes** until edges are golden pale. Cool on pan for 5 minutes!

Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips

Chef's Secret Extra Yolk Hack: Brown sugar contains molasses for moisture and chewiness. Adding 1 extra egg yolk when using 100% white sugar mimics that exact soft chewy bakery texture!
Melted Butter vs Softened: Using melted butter creates chewy dense cookies rather than cakey white sugar cookies.
Lower Oven Temp (325°F): Baking at 325°F prevents white sugar from over-spreading while ensuring chewy centers.

1. Spoon and Level Your Flour: Never scoop flour directly from the canister with your measuring cup, which packs excess volume by up to 25%. Fluff the flour with a fork, spoon it into the cup, and level the top with a knife. 2. Mind Your Butter Temperature: For creaming, butter should yield under gentle thumb pressure without melting or feeling greasy. Proper emulsion traps microscopic air pockets that ensure an airy, tender bake. 3. Chef's Kitchen Secret: Chef's Secret Extra Yolk Hack: Brown sugar contains molasses for moisture and chewiness. Adding 1 extra egg yolk when using 100% white sugar mimics that exact soft chewy bakery texture!

Troubleshooting & Quick Fixes

▾

Why Did My Chewy White Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies Without Brown Sugar Turn Out Drier Than Expected?: Dryness usually stems from slight over-measuring of flour or keeping the pan in the oven a few minutes too long. Check for doneness slightly early—a toothpick inserted into the center should emerge with a few moist crumbs rather than dry wood.
How to Prevent Uneven Browning?: Most domestic ovens have hot spots near the back corner. Rotate your baking sheet 180 degrees halfway through the timer to ensure uniform golden browning and rise.

Frequently Asked Questions

▾

Q: Can I substitute brown sugar for white sugar? A: Yes, substituting dark or light brown sugar adds extra moisture and subtle caramel undertones due to natural molasses content.

Q: Can I make this dessert gluten-free? A: A 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend containing xanthan gum (such as Bob's Red Mill or King Arthur) produces outstanding, nearly identical results.
