Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Butter
Creams with sugar to trap air and add richness and tender texture.
Eggs
Bind the dough and add structure and moisture as the cookies set.
All-purpose flour
Provides the structure that holds the cookies together as they bake.
Brown sugar
Adds moisture and molasses flavour, helping cookies stay chewy and browning.
Baking soda
Reacts with acidic components to produce gas that makes cookies rise and spread.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Add melted pockets of chocolate and sweetness throughout each cookie.

The step that matters

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mixing too long after adding flour develops gluten, making cookies tough. Stir just until no dry flour remains.
