It is very rarely I have been able to make something as delicious as my mom makes. But…I will say, these cookies rival that. I shared a few of them with her and her eyes immediately lit up- “OMG these taste just like Mrs. Fields cookies!”. My husband…a self proclaimed cookie addict, was hooked. I think he had 6. In 5 minutes.

Here are a few tricks for perfect cookies.

  • Use cold butter. Don’t skip this step and don’t melt it.
  • Use dark brown sugar– it’s got a much better depth of flavor.
  • Using a better vanilla extract is key.
    • The best kind of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla extract, sold at Williams Sonoma and some fine grocery stores. It is pricey. A more moderate vanilla extract would do just fine, however a higher end more concentrated one will really amp up the flavor, and the smell of the cookies!
  • Dark chocolate chips, I used Ghirardelli, are my favorite for these. Almost a savory flavor, mixed with the sweet cookie dough…yummm! Sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top if you like.

Author: Kathi & Rachel

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cold salted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Using a stand mixer, or a mixing bowl with electric mixer, mix white and brown sugar together.
  • Add butter cubes and mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until full mixed.
  • Add eggs and vanilla. Mix to combine.
  • Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on low until fully combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips with spatula.
  • Using a cookie scoop, form dough balls into about 1/4 cup. This recipe will yield roughly 20 cookies. Place cookie balls on greased cookie sheet, and slightly (SLIGHTLY!) flatten. Place plastic wrap over cookie dough, and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
    *Roughly 8-10 cookies per sheet pan. Do not overcrowd.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees farenheit. Place cookies into oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until edges have set.
  • Let cookies cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to ensure they are set. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Other Tips: 
  • Add extra chocolate chips on top of cookies for more chocolate! 
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top of cookies after baking. 
  • Add butterscotch or white chocolate chips if desired.

      Hi Edwyna – I have never baked with gluten free flour but that being said, I am told it is interchangeable with all purpouse flour.
