You can make bakery style chocolate chip cookies at home that are ultra thick with chewy centers and crispy edges. This easy recipe delivers the ultimate homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • Flaked sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step helps create a thick cookie.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand. For giant cookies, use about 1/3 cup of dough per cookie.
  7. Scoop large balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them for spreading. For extra thick cookies, gently press the dough balls down slightly in the center, but keep the edges high.
  8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. You want the edges to look golden brown and set, but the centers should still look slightly underbaked and gooey.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven. If desired, immediately sprinkle a few flakes of sea salt over the tops of the hot cookies.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The centers will set as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use room temperature eggs.
  • If you want a deeper flavor, substitute half of the butter with browned butter.
  • To achieve the thickest cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, although this recipe is designed to be quick.
