Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies that are large and tall, crisp around the edges, soft in the middle, and packed with melty chocolate. Basically, just perfect!
Ingredients
- 170 grams (¾ cup) unsalted butter at 65°F (18°C)
- 220 grams (1 cup + 2 tablespoons) brown sugar
- 40 grams (3 tablespoons) white sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 7 grams (1 ½ teaspoons) vanilla extract or paste
- 340 grams (2 ¾ cups) all-purpose flour
- 5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking powder
- 3 grams (½ teaspoon) baking soda
- 3 grams (½ teaspoon) fine sea salt
- 400 grams (2 ¼ cups) chocolate chips semisweet or dark
- Extra chocolate chips for topping
- Flaky sea salt for finishing
Instructions
- Cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix until incorporated, then add the yolk and mix until incorporated.
- Add the vanilla and mix again until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Portion the dough using a large cookie scoop or weigh about 100 grams per cookie.
- Shape into rough, tall mounds rather than smooth balls.
- Cover well to prevent drying and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange cookies, leaving at least 3 inches (8 cm) of space between them.
- Top each dough mound with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and, while the cookies are still hot, use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to gently swirl around each cookie, tucking in any uneven edges to form a clean, round shape. The gentle motion helps shape them into perfectly round bakery-style cookies.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt, and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to finish setting.
