How to Make Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Today is recipe #4 in our Christmas in July series!

And we’re making perfect soft chocolate chip cookies! Unlike my everyday chocolate chip cookies that are soft and chewy and a little crunchy, and unlike my thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies that are lace thin and have a serious snap, these cookies are seriously soft and so tender! With just the slightest chew! That comes from the addition of sour cream!

They kind of remind me of an extremely elevated Entemann’s cookie! But a million times tastier!

Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies are super soft, tender, and flavorful! This is the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie recipe for making ice cream sandwiches!
These soft batch chocolate chip cookies are a staple during the holiday season. Fresh from the oven, they’re so goody and enticing! But they also happen to make the BEST ice cream sandwiches! Their soft texture doesn’t get too hard when frozen, so you can sink your teeth in with ease! So they’re really the perfect Christmas in July recipe!

Brown Butter Cookie Dough
Even though these are soft batch cookies, we’re not skipping the brown butter! The brown butter adds a TON of flavor and is the secret ingredient to making these cookies taste like they came from a fancy bakery!

Using melted brown butter also means this recipe can be made without an electric mixer! You can simply combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl! First you’ll want to beat the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. And then you’ll add in your dry ingredients, and fold everything together until just combined!

Chill the Dough
This recipe calls for 2 chill times! But wait! Before you run away, let me explain! Because it’s really not bad!

First, you’ll refrigerate the whole bowl of cookie dough for 30 minutes. This allows the cookie dough to firm up enough to be easily scooped and shaped into round balls. At this point you’ll scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (put as many as you can fit on the sheet and don’t worry about them being close) and pop the baking sheet back into the fridge for 2 more hours.

Can I chill longer than 2 hours?
Yes!!! You can chill in the shaped cookie dough balls in the fridge for up to 3 days! Or you can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 2 months. But if you refrigerate for longer than 24 hours, you may need to add a minute or two onto the baking time!

Bake the Cookies
About 30 minutes before you plan on baking, preheat your oven and get your pans ready!

Since we want soft cookies, we’ll preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then you’ll want to line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Once your cookie dough has sufficiently chilled, remove it from the oven and transfer balls of the cookie dough to your prepared pans, leaving 2-inches in between each for spreading. Then bake one tray at a time for 12 minutes!

Place the cookie tray on a wire rack and cool for at least 20 minutes before digging in!
