Equipment

  • baking sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Electric mixer
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Rubber Spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and fold in chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup salted butter cold and small cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
  • Add the brown sugar, white sugar, and cubed butter in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer. Mix until just combined; there will be lumps, and it will look like a sandy consistency.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix until there are no streaks of flour left, but make sure not to overmix. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Roll ¼ cup portions of the dough between your hands to form a ball. I use a cookie scoop to help with this. Place on the prepared sheet trays.
  • Place the dough balls into the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 300°F.
  • Place the cookie balls about 3 inches apart on the sheet tray. Bake for 23-25 minutes until puffed and starting to brown along the edges.
  • Immediately place the cookies onto a cold countertop, and use the parchment paper to help slide them off the sheet tray. 
  • Press in more chocolate chips on top for a pretty presentation if desired. 
  • Allow to cool slightly and serve warm or cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • The cold butter helps keep the dough chilled and the cookies rise so make sure not to soften the butter!
  • If you make any modifications, it will no longer be a copycat recipe, but you can include various delicious extras such as different types of chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, sprinkles, or chocolate chunks.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the dough so every cookie is the same size and bakes evenly.
  • Serve warm for best results.
