How to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt (or sea salt)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups chocolate chips (use a mix of semisweet and dark for a bakery effect)
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
Optional for topping: Extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt for that bakery-style finish.
Directions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to ensure that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the cookies.
Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Step 3: Combine and Fold
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
Step 4: Chill the Dough
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps the flavors to meld and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
Step 5: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6: Scoop and Shape
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread a little while baking. For a professional touch, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Step 7: Bake
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool.
Step 8: Cool and Set
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
How to Serve Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Serve these cookies warm with a glass of milk or your favorite dessert beverage. They make a perfect snack or a delightful treat for any gathering. You can also enjoy them with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious dessert sandwich!
How to Store Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. You can also freeze the cookie dough before baking for later use. Just scoop and freeze the individual dough balls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag once frozen.
Tips to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Make sure your butter is melted but not hot, to prevent cooking the eggs when combined.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a mix of chocolate chips, such as milk, semi-sweet, and dark chocolate.
- If you prefer chewier cookies, bake them for a shorter time.
Variation
For a fun twist, try adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch. You can also substitute some of the chocolate chips with other mix-ins like dried fruit or butterscotch chips!
