Bakery style chocolate chip cookies that rival any you’d find at a fancy cookie shop. Giant, buttery, gooey, and loaded with chocolate chips!

I have a love-hate relationship with cookie shops. I love eating the jumbo-sized, gooey cookies but hate paying $4 for a cookie when I could easily make them at home for a fraction of the price. My bakery style cookies are better than any from Barnes and Noble and easily rival Crumbl’s chocolate chip cookies.

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

My bakery style chocolate chip cookies are big, gooey, and loaded with milk chocolate chips. You can use semi-sweet chips, white chocolate chips, or anything you’d like. Each cookie is made from 1/4 cup of cookie dough so it’s the size of two regular cookies. I under-bake them slightly and then let them finish baking while cooling on the cookie sheet. This is KEY. Perfectly cooked all the way through, while still being soft and gooey.

This recipe makes 2 dozen jumbo cookies, perfect to share with friends. They are delicious warm or at room temperature, although I think I prefer them served warm with a glass of cold milk. You can easily reheat the cookies for a few seconds in the microwave!

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

  • Butter: I always bake with salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter if you’d like. I use softened butter (which can still be slightly chilled) for this recipe.
  • Sugar: I use a combination of brown sugar and white sugar (with a bigger ratio of brown sugar).
  • Eggs: You’ll need 2 eggs to add enough moisture to this big batch of cookie dough.
  • Vanilla Extract: For flavoring. Try our homemade vanilla extract!
  • Baking Soda, Baking Powder, and Kosher Salt: For leavening and flavor. You can use regular table salt if you’d like, but I use kosher salt for my baking and cooking.
  • All-Purpose Flour: I use bread and all-purpose flour interchangeably and don’t typically notice a difference. So use what you have on hand.
  • Chocolate Chips: I used 4 cups (about 2 bags), but if you don’t plan on adding extra chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies you can get away with 3 cups.

TIPS FOR MAKING Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Use lots of chocolate chips. Not only do I mix them into the dough, but I also save extra to add before and after baking. This gives them a professional look and definitely tastes good too.
  2. Cook at 375 degrees. The higher heat will cook the outside quickly, preventing the cookie from spreading too much.
  3. Let cookies stand on cookie sheets to cool for at least 10 minutes. Instead of quickly removing the cookies after baking, let them sit on the cookie sheets as they cool to allow the soft centers to finish baking.
  4. Bake cookies on LIGHT baking sheets. These bake more evenly than dark cookie sheets.
  5. Shape baked cookies with a spatula or the back of a spoon. As soon as the hot cookies come out of the oven, quickly shape the cookies into a perfectly round circle. Watch my video to see how I do that! It isn’t essential, but makes them the perfect shape—again, looking professional.cookies on parchment paper lined baking sheet
