Follow this recipe to make large, thick chocolate chip cookies with chewy centers and slightly crisp edges, mimicking commercial bakery quality.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or high-quality chips
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chunks using a spatula.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling prevents spreading.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop the dough into large balls (about 3.5 ounces or 1/4 cup measure each). Place them 3 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes. The edges should look set and slightly golden brown, but the centers should still look slightly underbaked.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification.
  • For the deepest flavor, consider browning half of the butter before cooling and using it in the recipe.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chunks onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a gourmet look.
  • For extra thick cookies, gently press the dough balls down slightly before baking, but do not flatten them completely.
