Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

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 (180 C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Click for 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. Click for a baking sheet.

Bake for 9 – 11 minutes until the cookies are just barely golden. Don’t over bake or they won’t be soft.

Let them cool on the pan for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Click for a wire rack.
