Description
These thick, bakery-style chocolate chip cookies feature a perfect balance of a crisp golden exterior and a soft, chewy center. By using a blend of flours and melted butter, you can achieve professional results with deep caramel notes and plenty of chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (mixture of regular and mini)
Instructions
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
- In a larger bowl, stir the melted and cooled butter with the light brown and granulated sugars using a wooden spoon or spatula until well combined.
- Add the eggs, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and stir until the batter looks smooth and glossy.
- Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop the dough into large balls (about 3 ounces or 1/3 cup each), place on a tray, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and space the chilled dough balls well apart on the prepared sheets to allow for expansion.
- Bake until the edges are just starting to turn light golden brown, then allow the cookies to rest on the hot baking sheet for 15 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To ensure your cookies have that signature height, do not skip the refrigeration step as chilling the dough prevents the fat from melting too quickly in the oven. Using a combination of regular and mini chocolate chips ensures that every bite is packed with chocolate for a truly decadent experience.
