Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
The perfect Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies with a thick chewy texture, soft center, and golden brown edges.
Equipment
- electric mixer
- cookie scoop
- baking sheets
- parchment paper
- airtight container
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour Measured correctly using a digital kitchen scale recommended.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter At cool room temperature (67°F).
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar Lightly packed.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 large eggs At room temperature.
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat until combined, scraping the bowl down as needed. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls using a large cookie scoop and drop onto prepared baking sheets.
- If time permits, place the dough scoops into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours but no more than 72 hours to allow the dough to “marinate”.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
- Although I prefer cookies fresh from the oven, these can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
Gluten-free option available: substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour at a 1:1 ratio. Cookies will taste nuttier and will soften more over time.
