- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, ½ cup at a time, beating well after each addition until a smooth cookie dough forms.
- Add Chocolate:
- Stir in:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar (roughly chopped)
- Note: Using high-quality chocolate makes a big difference in taste. Consider mixing Guittard chocolate chips with a Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate bar.

- Shape the Dough:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on a baking tray, evenly spaced.
- Bake:
- Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for about 11-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the tops have a shiny spot in the middle.
- Check for doneness before the 14-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Optional Step:
- After removing the cookies from the oven, use a 4″ cake ring (or similar circular object) to gently swirl around each cookie in a circular motion to help them maintain a perfect round shape.
- Cool and Enjoy:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This cooling step is crucial for achieving the ultimate chewy texture. Patience is key!
