Description

Delight in these jumbo bakery-style chocolate chip cookies featuring a perfect balance of crisp edges and soft, gooey centers. Made with a rich blend of butter, brown and granulated sugars, and loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, these cookies are chilled for enhanced flavor and texture, then baked to perfection and finished with a touch of flaky sea salt for a gourmet twist.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 and 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

For Garnish

  • Flaky sea salt (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing well to create a smooth, creamy base.
  3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Mix in the vanilla extract followed by the eggs, beating the mixture until it is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Slowly incorporate the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture until a dough forms. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours. This step is crucial to develop flavors and improve the texture of the cookies.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a scoop or your hands, portion the dough into balls weighing about 140 grams each. Place them on lined cookie sheets, leaving enough space for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 12 to 16 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and golden while the centers remain slightly soft and underbaked for a chewy texture.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for five minutes. While still warm, sprinkle with flaky sea salt before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for proper texture and flavor development.
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure dough balls for consistent cookie size and baking results.
  • If you prefer a sweeter finish, you can omit the flaky sea salt garnish.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
