Perfect bakery-style chocolate chip cookies that are thick, chewy, and golden-edged with gooey centers and melty chocolate chunks. Easy to make and irresistibly indulgent—just like from a real bakery.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate chunks
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
  7. Using a large cookie scoop, portion dough onto baking sheets, spacing a few inches apart.
  8. Press extra chocolate pieces on top of each dough ball and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  9. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. Cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use chopped chocolate bars for bigger melty pools.
  • Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.
  • Freeze unbaked dough balls for quick fresh cookies anytime.
