Ooey Gooey Cookies Ingredients
You will need:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup salted butter cold
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pecans chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Substitutions and Additions
Chocolate: You could substitute any type of baking chips you’d like – milk chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter, or butterscotch. You could also replace the semi-sweet chunks with white chocolate chunks for a variety of chocolate flavors all in one.
How to Make This Ooey Gooey Cookies Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 475°F.
STEP TWO: Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, white sugar, and brown sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
STEP THREE: Cut the butter into half-inch chunks and put it into another large mixing bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and mix at medium speed until totally creamy and combined.
PRO TIP: Using cold butter for this recipe will ensure the dough is nice and cold before going into the oven. If you find there’s been a delay in your prep work and the dough is not cold enough, then pop the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
STEP FOUR: Add the dry ingredients in cup-fulls while mixing.
STEP FIVE: When combined, mix in the chocolate chunks, chips, and chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.
STEP SIX: Take about 2 tablespoons of the dough and shape it into balls (1 tablespoon for a smaller cookie)
STEP SEVEN: Place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and space 3 inches apart.
STEP EIGHT: Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes. If you’re making a smaller cookie, reduce the time to 6 to 7 minutes.
PRO TIP: The trick to this recipe is the super high heat. This allows the cookie to become slightly crunchy on the outside yet still super ooey gooey on the inside.
STEP NINE: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
