We can’t resist a good chocolate chip cookie. This recipe is not your average cookie (although it can be)! We divide the chocolate chips and place half in the center of the bake and the remaining on top. It has an ultra chocolate-y center with the perfect amount on top!
What are inside out chocolate chip cookies
You’re probably thinking that this is a crazy idea. Rest assure, it is nothing crazy but we consider it quite genius!
Essentially this cookie has a typical chocolate chip cookie base but with the chocolate chips divided differently. Instead of the chocolate chips distributed inside the dough, we keep the dough plain. The chocolate chips are in the center and on top. This creates a rich chocolate center.
Why we love these Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gooey center

How to Make Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Dry ingredients. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- Wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, cream together melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until well blended. Add the whole egg and beat for 2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides. Add the egg yolk, and vanilla extract, beat for an additional 2 minutes until lighter in color and thick.
- Wet + Dry. Mix the dry ingredients until stir just until blended. Be sure not to over mix, you just want to mix in until you don’t see any streaks of flour.
- Assemble. In a 11×7 baking dish. Spread half of the cookie dough. Scatter 1 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Add remaining cookie dough and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake at 325 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before digging in. We like our cookie to be slightly under baked in the center but if you like your cookie with a more firm center bake for 30-35 minutes. *Note that as the cookie sits it will continue to cook in the baking dish, so try not to over bake.
Notes and Variations
Chocolate. If you like your cookies sweeter, feel free to use a milk chocolate chip cookie. If you like dark chocolate that can be subbed instead. A mix. You can do a mix of multiple chocolate chips.
Nuts. If you have a favorite nut feel free to sprinkle some in.
