How to Make Ultra Thick Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 large eggs
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt (or sea salt)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups chocolate chips (use a mix of semisweet and dark for a bakery effect)
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
Optional for topping: Extra chocolate chips and flaky sea salt for that bakery-style finish

Directions:

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

Step 3: Combine and Fold
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix. Add in the chocolate chips and stir to combine.

Step 4: Chill the Dough
Cover the dough and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape while baking.

Step 5: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6: Scoop and Shape
Scoop large balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie. You can gently press extra chocolate chips on top if you like.

Step 7: Bake
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden. The centers may look a bit underbaked, which is perfect for that gooey texture.

Step 8: Cool and Set
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This lets them firm up a bit.
