Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

By srumbel

I made them really big like bakery style cookies. They are just perfect. Crispy on the outside edge, but soft and chewy in the middle. Yum!

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb (2 sticks) unsalted butter (at room temp)
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 eggs (at room temp)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 lb semisweet chocolate jumbo chips or chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat mat. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, mix together butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix on low until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla and eggs. Mix on low speed until well combined.
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add flour mixture to butter mixture slowly. Blend on low speed until just combined.
Fold in your chocolate chips/chunks.
Use a large ice cream scoop to scoop batter and drop onto your baking sheet.
Using your hand, slighly flatten each cookie.
Put in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. (They will look slightly underdone in the middle, but you do not want to overbake these)
Remove from oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes. Then you can transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Enjoy!!
