@brighteyes847: Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies (Bakery-Style!)- COOKING WITH BRIGHT EYES BIG… thick… gooey… soft-in-the-middle cookies — just like the famous NYC bakery! 📝 Ingredients (6 big cookies): 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup cold butter (cubed) ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup white sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp baking powder Pinch of salt 1 cup chocolate chips/chunks (the more the better Optional: ½ cup walnuts (classic Levain-style) 👩🍳 Steps: 1️⃣ Cream the Butter & Sugars Use cold butter cubes (this makes them thick!). Mix with brown + white sugar until combined. 2️⃣ Add Egg & Vanilla Mix just until incorporated. 3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips (and walnuts if using). 4️⃣ Form BIG Dough Balls Make 6 large balls — thick = gooey inside! Do NOT flatten. 5️⃣ Bake Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 10–12 mins. Edges set, centers still soft and thick. 6️⃣ Cool Slightly Let them rest 10 minutes to become super gooey + thick. ⭐ Pro Tip: Chill the dough 20 minutes before baking for extra height and bakery texture.
