Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thick chocolate chip cookies with golden edges and soft centers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
  5. Mix in the dry ingredients just until combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
  7. Scoop dough balls of about 2 tablespoons onto the sheet, 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake 12-14 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  9. Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then move to a wire rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape. Do not overmix once the flour is added.
