Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined; set this dry ingredient mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Beat the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture until fully incorporated and the batter looks smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until no streaks of flour remain; be careful not to overmix.
- Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear slightly soft and puffy. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

My Pro Tips for Wrap Perfection

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make broccoli cheddar wraps ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare these wraps ahead of time. I recommend storing the filling separately from the tortillas and assembling right before serving to prevent sogginess. The filling keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
What’s the best way to warm tortillas for wraps?
I prefer warming tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side. This makes them pliable without making them too soft. You can also microwave them between damp paper towels for 20 30 seconds.
Can I use frozen broccoli for these wraps?
Frozen broccoli works well, just be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture. Pat it dry with paper towels to prevent your wraps from becoming watery.
How do I prevent my wraps from falling apart?
Don’t overfill the tortillas and make sure to fold in the sides tightly before rolling. Warming the tortillas first also helps them become more flexible and less likely to crack.
