These Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy. This recipe makes 6 – 8 cookies. Why make a small batch? Because, if you’re like me and would eat every scrumptious cookie in a large batch, this will help keep that under control!

How to make Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the butter a little bit, for about 30 seconds in the microwave. It won’t be completely melted but will have some liquid.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter with granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Add in the vanilla and the egg yolk. Continue mixing on low speed until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
Then add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough forms.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, or other candy of choice.
Divide the dough into 6 or 8 equal portions.
Roll the portions into balls with your hands. Place the dough balls on the baking sheet.
Bake for 9 – 11 minutes until the cookies are just barely golden. Don’t overbake or they won’t be soft.
Let them cool on the pan for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
