❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- You won’t need any special equipment. Simply mix everything in one bowl with a spatula, scoop, then bake!
- It’s perfect for (basic) cookie dough lovers. My mom loves chocolate chip cookies, but without the chips.. which is how this recipe was born! It’s got all the caramel-y butterscotch-y notes from the brown sugar without any interference of chocolate flavors.
- It’s versatile. Since this is a basic cookie dough, you could zhuzh it up however you like. For example, you could add half a cup of chocolate chips, M&Ms, crushed Oreos, etc.!

💡 Baking Tip
- Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the flour in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
- For rounder cookies, place a large circular cutter or mug on top of a freshly baked, warm cookie. Move it around in a circular motion until your cookie is perfectly round! This step is totally optional and purely for plating purposes! 🙂
How to Make Chewy Chocolate Chipless Cookies
Step 1: Mix together melted butter with brown and granulated sugars until fully combined.
Step 2: Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 3: Stir in dry ingredients until no dry spots remain. Use a cookie scoop (2-3 tablespoon capacity) to gather dough. Place cookie dough balls on lined baking sheet 3-4 inches apart—they will spread quite a bit!
Step 4: Bake cookies at 375°F/190°C for about 6 minutes, or until cookies are puffed. Take tray and bang it against the counter to deflate them (this will make them chewier!). Bake for 2 minutes, bang the tray again, then bake for another 2 minutes, or until edges are golden and middles are mostly set. Remove from oven, bang tray one last time, and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let completely cool on tray and enjoy!

Notes
- Weigh your ingredients! One of my favorite kitchen tools is a kitchen scale because it’s more accurate than measuring by volume. If you use cups, spoon the flour in gently, then level it with a knife or spatula.
- Room temperature: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing instructions: Store cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. You can also freeze cookie dough balls for up to a year and bake as usual—just add a couple more minutes to the baking time.
- Reheating instructions: Allow frozen cookies to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Or, reheat in the microwave at 10-second intervals.
