Chocolate chip cookies, just like you used to eat from your local bakery. These cookies are huge, buttery and full of chocolate chips. A few “special” ingredients are added to gives these cookies that unique bakery-cookie taste.
Ahhhh…there’s nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie, right?!?! I remember going grocery shopping with my mom every week and always stopping by the bakery department, where they kept a container of their chocolate chip cookies behind the counter to pass out to the kids if they asked for one. They were the best!! Or at least 7-year old Kelly thought so!
So I am going to be honest. I LOVE THIS COOKIE RECIPE!! I have other chocolate chip cookie recipes here on the blog…but if you are looking for a huge cookie, that’s crisp on the edges, yet moist and soft in the middle, then these cookies will be your new favorite too!
I mean, just look at that cookie dough!!
Despite chilling, these cookies will spread, so make sure to leave a few inches to allow for spreading, so they don’t all run into each other! And if they do run into each other, that’s fine too. They will taste the same!!
Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Organic Bakers Extract)
- 1/2 teaspoon butter extract (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and creamy. Add each egg in one at a time and mix in completely before adding the second egg. Mix in the vanilla and butter extracts and nutmeg. Change the mixer to low speed and add the cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Mix until barely incorporated. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 60-minutes or overnight.
Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 325-degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1/3-cup sized cookie dough balls and place a few inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake one cookie sheet at a time in 325-degree oven for 20-minutes. Remove baked cookies from the oven and allow cookies to cool and set on the cookie sheet for 15-minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the second cookie sheet of cookies.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
OH YEAH!!!! Light brown on the edges, with a soft interior that’s full of chocolate chips! I mean how can you not want to bite into this cookie?!?!
So I gave these cookies to my hubby to take to work and he said the guys were going crazy over them! I sent some home with my daddy too, and he called me the next day to tell me how much he liked them (and he only likes almost burned, crispy cookies lol). SO PLEASE. Please. Please….try these cookies! And then come back and let me know what ya think!
XOXO,
Kelly
