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 evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In another large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Combine and Fold

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Chill the Dough

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Chilling helps create a thicker cookie and enhances flavor.

Step 5: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6: Scoop and Shape

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop large balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave space between each cookie, as they will spread.

Step 7: Bake

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers will look slightly underbaked, which adds to that gooey texture.

Step 8: Cool and Set

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Serve Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are best served warm, paired with a glass of cold milk or your favorite beverage. You can also add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top for that extra touch.

How to Store Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before you freeze them.

Tips to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
• Don’t skip the chilling step; it’s key for thick cookies.
• Experiment with different types of chips, like white chocolate or peanut butter chips, for added flavor.

Variation

Add nuts such as walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. You can also substitute some of the chocolate chips for dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a unique twist.

FAQs

Q1: Can I use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar?
Yes, you can! Light brown sugar will work just fine, but dark brown sugar adds a bit more moisture and a deeper flavor.

Q2: How can I make the cookies even thicker?
Chilling the dough for a longer time or adding a bit more flour can help make them thicker.

Q3: Can I use a different type of flour?
You can try using whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture and flavor might change slightly. Make sure to check if the gluten-free flour you use is meant for baking cookies.
