Ingredients Needed

For these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:

  • For the Dough:
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or sea salt)
  • For Sweetness and Flavor:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolatey Goodness:
  • 3 cups chocolate chips (a mix of semisweet and dark works best for that rich taste)

  • Extra chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt for that bakery-style finish

How to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This blends the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Now, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. Combine and Fold: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until you no longer see the flour. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  5. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop and Shape: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For a bakery-style look, shape them taller rather than flat.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. They should be golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
  8. Cool and Set: Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 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 enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. Serve them with a glass of cold milk or your favorite hot beverage. For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on top right after they come out of the oven.

How to Store Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

To keep these cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay good for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the baked cookies in a zip-top bag for up to three months. Just allow them to thaw at room temperature before enjoying!

Tips to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Use Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cookies! Choose high-quality semisweet and dark chocolate.
  • Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step; it’s crucial for achieving that perfect thickness.
  • Adjust Baking Time: Every oven is different. Keep an eye on your cookies towards the end of the baking time.

Variations

Feel free to mix things up! You can add:

  • Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
  • Different types of chocolate chips, like white chocolate or butterscotch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use brown sugar only?

Yes, using only brown sugar will give your cookies a chewier texture and deeper flavor.

How do I make this gluten-free?

Swap out the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains a binding agent, such as xanthan gum.

Is this cookie dough freezer-friendly?

Yes! You can freeze the dough in individual scoops. Bake straight from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time.
