Mrs. Fields Style Cookies

You know Mrs. Fields cookies are the BEST out there- and we’ve found a way to replicate them! These delicious chocolate chip cookies are thick, tender and taste like your favorite mall cookies. Learn how we make them- they are an unconventional cookie recipe that turn out perfect every time.

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.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dark brown sugar

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2.5 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
