Why you’ll love these Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies:

• Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies – These cookies are extra huge! Each one is 140 grams or almost 5 ounces in size!
• Extra Chocolate Chips – We’re using plenty of regular semi-sweet chocolate chips AND mini chocolate chips for extra chocolate in each bitel
• Soft Cookies – We are 100% team soft cookie – these are perfectly soft and chewy, with a crisp edge.
• Simple Ingredients – Some bakery-style cookie recipes call for cake flour or bread flour, but these just use regular all-purpose flour to keep our favorite cookies super simple!

There’s nothing better than classic chocolate chip cookies – except for giant bakery-style chocolate chip cookies! Let’s learn how to make ’em.

Ingredient Overview:

• Butter – I always use salted buter for the best flavor, but feel free to use unsalted butter if you prefer. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before baking – creaming cold butter is not easy.
• Chocolate Chips – We’re using a mix of mini and regular sized chocolate chips for added texture and plenty of melty chocolate in each bite!
• Vanilla extract – Use real vanilla extract for best results.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Dairy-free – Swap in your favorite dairy-free butter and chocolate chips to make this recipe dairy-free.
• Chocolate Chips – Feel free to use a mix of semi-sweet, dark, and or milk chocolate chips to fit your preferences. I used all semi-sweet here but will sometimes mix in other types.

How to Make this Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Step-by-Step:

Step 1: Make the Dough. Cream together butter and sugar with a hand mixer, then mix in eggs and vanilla until it looks like the below left photo. Add the dry ingredients and mix until you have a dough.

Step 2: Add the Chocolate! Mix in your chocolate and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed – you can do this with your electric mixer or with a rubber spatula.

Step 3: Portion the Dough Balls and Chill. Divide the dough into 10 equal balls, about 135-140 grams each. Press a few extra chocolate chips into any bare spots. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours in the fridge or 1 hour in the freezer. (See more make-ahead tips below.)

Step 4: Bake the Cookies. Bake the cookies with plenty of space in between on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. They may not look bakery worthy when they come out – see my expert tips below on how to take them from the photo on the left to the perfectly round bakery-worthy cookies on the right. Bake cookies as directed in the recipe card below for best results.

The cookies will look a tad underdone when they’re done, but they will set up as they cool. Don’t over bake them! Enjoy them while they’re warm and gooey from the oven, with a glass of cold milk. These are truly the best chocolate chip cookies!

Expert Success Tips:

• Bakery Worthy Looking Cookies – As you can see in the above left hand photo, cookies don’t bake into perfect circles. Use a round cutter to round them out as soon as they’re out of the oven – don’t cut off the edges, but use a cutter big enough to surround the whole cookie, then swirl the cookie around inside it to round it out. Pop a few extra chocolate chips on top, too.
• Chill the Dough – Don’t skip this step! You’ll have puddles if you don’t chill the dough.
• Don’t Over Bake – Don’t over bake the cookies! Follow the indicators in the recipe card for bake time and doneness. They should look like they might need 1-2 more minutes in the center, while the edges will appear just set. This is the perfect stage – they will be hard and dry the next day if you bake them longer from that point.

Recipe Variations:

• Other Mix-Ins – Have fun with your mix ins! Feel free to add chopped nuts or different types of chocolate – milk, or dark chocolate chips are a great addition. You can even use chopped chocolate chunks.
• Smaller Cookies – You can portion the dough into smaller balls if desired. Portion into 50 gram balls for small cookies and bake for 8-9 minutes. You’ll get 28 cookies. you can portion anywhere between 50 and 140 grams as well, just be sure to check for doneness as indicated in the recipe card.

Serving + Storing this Recipe:

These cookies are sheer perfection while they’re warm and gooey from the oven. Leftovers can be cooled on a wire rack and stored in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave gently to revive that fresh-baked texture – it makes for the best cookies!

Special Tools:

• Cookie Scoop – Use this cookie scoop to make your cookies the size I did. It’s technically an ice cream scoop, but it’s the perfect size for large bakery-style cookies.
• Baking Sheets – These are my favorite cookie sheets!
• Silicone Baking Mat – This is my favorite silicone baking mat. It reduces waste because it’s washable!
