Description
Replicate the iconic New York City bakery experience with these massive, golden-brown cookies. These bakery-style treats feature a crispy, caramelized exterior that gives way to an incredibly soft, gooey, and thick center. By using cold butter, a precise blend of all-purpose and cake flour, and a mandatory chilling period, this recipe ensures each cookie stays tall and dense. Perfect for satisfying even the most intense sweet cravings with a generous amount of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate in every single bite.
Ingredients
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Cream the cold cubed butter and both sugars together on medium speed for about 4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed.
Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Form into thick puck shapes and place them on a tray.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to prevent spreading.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the cold cookie dough for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers appear soft.
Remove from oven and let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Keep the butter cold until the moment you start mixing to ensure the proper dense texture. Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added. If you want a more uniform look, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the dough balls before baking.
