Introduction
These bakery-style chocolate chip cookies are thick, soft in the center, slightly crispy on the edges, and loaded with melty chocolate. The secret is chilling the dough and using a mix of sugars for that rich, caramelized flavor. Perfect for when you want that professional bakery taste at home.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chunks
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Optional: extra chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then mix until creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts if using).
Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (better if 2 hours).
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Scoop large balls of dough and place on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until edges are golden and centers are still soft.
Let cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring.
Method
Chilling the dough is key for thick cookies and deeper flavor.
Using an extra egg yolk adds richness and softness.
Baking slightly under keeps the center gooey like bakery cookies.
