This classic Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe produces soft, chewy, and thick cookies with a perfect balance of sweetness and rich chocolate flavor. Made with simple pantry ingredients and baked to golden perfection, these cookies are topped with extra chocolate chips for an attractive finish and irresistible taste.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour (scoop and level)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Extra semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This creates the base for a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, helping to bind the ingredients and add flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Beat on low speed just until everything is combined to avoid overmixing which can make cookies tough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  6. Portion Cookie Dough: Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to place rounded dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Stack the dough slightly higher on the scoop for thicker cookies. Space them adequately to allow spreading during baking.
  7. Add Topping Chips: Place a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball for an attractive, bakery-style appearance. This step is optional but highly recommended for visual appeal.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. For soft and chewy cookies, pull them out at 8 minutes when they look slightly underdone; they will continue to cook as they cool.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes to firm up. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Scoop and level the flour to ensure accurate measurement and avoid dense cookies.
  • Using softened butter at room temperature is key for proper creaming and texture.
  • Do not overbake; the cookies should appear slightly underdone when removed to keep them soft.
  • Extra chocolate chips on top enhance the cookie’s look and provide extra chocolate taste.
  • Cookies will firm up as they cool, so allow adequate cooling time before transferring or storing.
