Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are soft and gooey in the middle, lightly crisp around the edges, and packed with melty chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate. They are made with melted butter, so no mixer is needed, and the dough can be baked without chilling. Serve them warm while the chocolate is still soft, or let them cool completely for a thicker, chewy texture.
