- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is the base of your cookie dough, so give it a good few minutes of mixing.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

- Here comes the fun part—the bliss trick! Scoop out a generous tablespoon of dough. Flatten it slightly in your palm and place a chocolate chunk in the center. Carefully fold the dough around the chocolate, sealing it completely and rolling it into a ball. Place it on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the balls about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look soft. They will continue to set as they cool. For the perfect chewy texture, this is the most important step—don’t overbake!

Tips & Tricks for Cookie Bliss
A few little secrets from my kitchen to yours to guarantee success every time.
- Room Temp is Key: Using room-temperature butter and eggs is non-negotiable for a perfectly creamed and emulsified dough. It makes all the difference in texture!
- Don’t Skip the Chill: If your dough seems too soft after mixing, pop it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. This prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- The Chocolate Center: You can use all sorts of things for the hidden middle! Try a Rolos, a square of a chocolate bar, or even a peanut butter cup for an extra surprise.
- Under-bake to Win: Take them out when they look almost done. They will set up perfectly as they cool, giving you that dreamy, soft center.
What to Serve With Your Masterpiece
These cookies are a star all on their own, especially with a tall glass of cold milk. But if you’re feeling fancy, crumble one over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an next-level sundae. They also pair wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or my Creamy Vanilla Chai Latte for the ultimate afternoon pick-me-up.
A Few Quick Questions (FAQ)
Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match your chocolates. Milk chocolate will make for a sweeter, gooier center, while dark chocolate will give a richer, more intense flavor. It’s all about your personal preference.
How should I store these cookies?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, they freeze beautifully! Just place cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm them up briefly in the microwave.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
You sure can. The cookie dough balls can be prepared and then stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready, just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a minute or two to the baking time.
My cookies spread out too flat. What happened?
This usually happens if the butter was too warm or the dough wasn’t chilled. Next time, make sure your butter is softened but not melty, and if your kitchen is warm, don’t hesitate to give the dough a quick chill before baking.
