A chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe that skips brown sugar but keeps perfect chewiness using sour cream. Quick, easy, and delicious with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 grams) sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 grams) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mix with dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter with granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Mix in the sour cream to keep the cookies moist and chewy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use melted butter cooled slightly to avoid cooking the egg. Pull cookies out when edges are golden but centers are still soft for best chewiness. Press extra chocolate chips on top after baking for a melty look. For gluten-free, swap flour with 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free, replace butter with coconut oil and sour cream with dairy-free yogurt, but texture will differ.
