how to make Jumbo Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients :

1 cup salted butter, softened at room temperature
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, spooned & leveled or weighed out (390 grams)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Directions :

Make the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to cream the softened butter. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing well for about 1-2 minutes. Then add the vanilla and eggs, mixing until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It might be crumbly at first, but keep mixing until it comes together. Finally, add in the chocolate chips and mix until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Chill: Scoop the dough into 10 balls, weighing about 140 grams each. Press a few extra chocolate chips into any bare spots on the dough balls. Place the dough balls in an airtight container and chill them in the fridge for at least 3 hours or up to 48 hours. Alternatively, you can place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350℉. Line a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Place 3-4 cookie dough balls on the sheet, leaving enough space between them since they will spread. Bake for 12-16 minutes. The centers may look a little underdone, and the tops might be puffy. The edges should feel set when gently tapped. They will achieve the perfect soft-baked texture as they cool. After baking, let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before enjoying them.
Serve + Store: If you want, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy the cookies warm and gooey! To store, keep the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. If you want to enjoy them warm again, just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

how to serve Jumbo Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Serve these big chocolate chip cookies warm with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. They are also great for sharing at parties, picnics, or simply as a snack at home. You can add a scoop of ice cream on top for a special treat!

how to store Jumbo Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. This will keep them fresh for about 4-5 days. If they last longer than that, you might want to consider freezing them. Just place the cookies in a freezer-safe container, and they can stay good for up to 3 months.

tips to make Jumbo Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough is essential for large cookies. It helps control spreading and makes for thicker cookies.
Use Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
Measure Flour Properly: Make sure to spoon and level the flour when measuring for accurate results.
Don’t Overbake: Take the cookies out when they still look slightly underbaked; they will continue to set as they cool.

You can customize these cookies by adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch. You could also add different types of chocolate chips, like milk chocolate or white chocolate, for a unique flavor. If you want an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
