Chewy Gooie Cookies
Chewy Gooie Cookies are rich, chocolatey treats with a chewy texture, perfect for chocolate lovers and easy to make with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 3 cups graham crumbs ⓘ
- 12 ounces semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Stir the graham crumbs, mini chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into a well-greased cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, avoiding overbaking.
- Score the baked mixture while still warm, then let cool before slicing and removing from the pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to the mixture. If you prefer a richer taste, substitute half of the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips. Be careful not to overbake; the edges should be golden, and the center should remain slightly soft. These cookies can also be adapted by mixing in nuts or dried fruits.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect for dessert on their own or can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent pairing. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter or potluck. For a fun twist, try serving them with whipped cream and fresh berries for a vibrant presentation. They pair beautifully with No Bake Chocolate Bars as part of a sweet spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Chewy Gooie Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. To reheat, place individual pieces in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore their gooey texture, or enjoy them cold as a delightful treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet mini chocolate chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips based on your preference. You can also mix in white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for a unique flavor combination. Just ensure the total amount of chocolate remains the same to maintain the recipe's balance.
What should I do if I don't have graham crumbs?
If you don't have graham crumbs on hand, you can easily make your own by crushing digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers. Alternatively, use crushed-up cookies like Oreos for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that this will alter the taste slightly, so choose a cookie that complements chocolate well.
Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes, you can freeze Chewy Gooie Cookies. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or store them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.
