Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Decadently thick cookies with crispy edges, gooey centers, and heaps of chocolate chips—just like your favorite bakery's secret indulgence.
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 light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups chocolate chips mix of semisweet and dark
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- extra chocolate chips optional, for topping
- flaky sea salt optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter with granulated and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and stir until smooth.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Stir in chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them out. Top each with extra chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers are just set.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
To really impress, serve these with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate dessert sandwich. For a touch of elegance, sprinkle edible gold flakes on top after baking. Dough can be frozen into scoops for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
