1. Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, up to 3 days.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop rounds of dough, about 3 tablespoons each, onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
