Gordon Ramsay Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Gordon Ramsay Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gordon Ramsay’s chocolate chip cookies are made with a traditional buttery dough, brown sugar for added moisture and chewiness, and a generous amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They’re baked until golden on the outside and slightly soft in the center, resulting in a balanced cookie with texture and flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

  • Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  • Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

  • Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) until evenly distributed.

  • Scoop the dough: Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  • Bake the cookies: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.

  • Cool and serve: Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
