Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
These Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies bake up pillowy soft and chewy.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks, M&M’s, or Reese’s Pieces)
Instructions
- 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. If the dough is too sticky or wet add tiny bits of flour until it's right.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, or other candy of choice.
- Divide the dough into 6 - 8 equal portions and roll 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 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.
Notes
- You can substitute the chocolate chips with chocolate chunks, M&M's, Reese's pieces, or your favorite cookie ingredient.
