The BEST Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

August 22, 2020

The BEST Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

As you might already know by now, I was blessed with a baker mom. So naturally, my brother and I grew up around all sorts of incredibly scrumptious goodies (think brownies, banana bread, panna cotta, crepes, and MORE!) One of my all-time favorite, however, is still her classic chocolate chip cookie recipe! And so I’ve dubbed this the BEST bakery-style chocolate chip cookies! Just ask anyone who has tried it, and they’ll tell you that these are seriously out-of-this-world!

Crispy edges and chewy centers. And just the perfect blend of sweet and buttery. Just try it once, and you’ll never need another recipe again! Finally, this is a foolproof recipe you can make to replicate that ridiculously delicious chocolate chip cookies you find in bakeries!

Ingredients to Make the BEST Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour, sub gluten-free flour if GF
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips/chunks (see notes below for vegan/dairy-free/sugar-free options)

How to Make the BEST Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the sugars, salt, and butter. Whisk until well combined. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and beat until mixture is fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift in the flour and baking soda and whisk to combine. Add in the dry mixture into the wet and stir until just combined (do not overmix!), then fold in the chocolate chips/chunks.
  3. Refrigerate the cookie dough for 2 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  5. Roll 2 ½ tbsp of cookie dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and make sure the dough balls are evenly spaced.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn brown. Cool completely. ENJOY!

Vegan, Dairy-Free, and Sugar Free Chocolate Recommendations

One of the things I love most about making these chocolate chip cookies is how I can mix up the chocolate chips with different varieties! For example, you can use white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips — in the regular, vegan, dairy-free, sugar-free versions, and you’ll STILL end up with a dozen of the BEST cookies ever.

For lower sugar options, there are a few stevia-based chips that have significantly less sugar than traditional chocolate chips. My favorite one, hands down, would have to be ChocZero‘s Dark Chocolate Chips! They are SO good, and taste just like the regular ones! (PS: You can use code DWELL to get 10% off your entire ChocZero order)

For vegan options, opt for dairy-free chocolate chips. A few brands that I absolutely LOVE include:

complimentary from C.O. Bigelow Today, I woke up complimentary from C.O. Bigelow

Today, I woke up exhausted. And not just the “oh I could use 5 more minutes” kind of tired. But “whoa, I feel like I got hit by a truck” kind. So instead of pushing harder, I chose to rest.

How? I’ve been saving my PTO’s for months (seriously, I’ve worked so hard and was extra intentional about setting aside time), so I have the option to take the day off for days like this.

I’m thankful I have gracious supervisors who believe in the importance of getting things done, but also in a healthy work-life balance.

And here’s what I’ve learned: rest could happen anywhere, anytime (yes, including the middle of the work week!) But creating pockets of time to rest is so vital - this is God’s gift to us!

Could I have found an excuse to not rest in the billion things on my to do list? YES. But.. I chose to do so. The world will keep spinning, and today, I will have a slow morning. A time to refresh, a time to be reinvigorated.

Don’t be overwhelmed, it’s ok to stop. Really, I mean that. It’s healthy to our bodies, mind and spirit.

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28

So now that I’m awake, you can find me in under a mountain of blankets just slowly reading, sipping on some Chamba Broth, taking a long bath with @cobigelow #HerbalComfortSoak, baking something exciting with REAL vanilla beans later today, and most of all - being more present in the moment.

How are you slowing down today? And how do you find REST?

A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me A good friend of mine from Kerala recently sent me her recipe of their famous (and authentic) Kerala style beef curry. So naturally, I made the dish that very night.⁣
⁣
All I could say is “OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is SO good.” 🔥⁣
⁣
This easy Kerala style beef curry recipe takes less than an hour to make. And the result? Incredibly tender cuts of beef marinated in the most flavorful spices. Pair it with a bowl of fluffy, warm Basmati rice, and get ready because this beef curry recipe is about to BLOW YOUR MIND. 🤯⁣

SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING So my Winter @causebox FINAL SUSTAINABLE SHOPPING

So my Winter @causebox FINALLY arrived on Friday - and I am SOOO in love with everything in my box! ☀️

If you've been around for a while, you might remember that I bought myself a Causebox subscription for my birthday last year, and I've only continued to love this company and the ethical sustainability that they stand behind! It's like the products are just a bonus 😉

Anywaaaays, you can check out my 27-second Reel for the full unboxing (+ explanation for how each brand is sustainable/ethical), but here's a quick "Sparksnotes" list if ya just want a quick lowdown! 👇🏼👇🏼

In my box this quarter, I received:
1️⃣ Cozy Cloud Wrap from @threadandsupply ($115)
2️⃣ Truffle Therapy Face Toner from @skinandco ($30)
3️⃣ Reusable Silicone Baking Sheets from @activatedeco ($24)
4️⃣ Yearly Planner from @idlewildco ($32)
5️⃣ Heathered Slouchy Socks from @maggiesorganics ($25)
6️⃣ Thick Gold Hoops from @sanctuary_project ($38)

ANNNDD…(bonus!) 
7️⃣ the most beautiful box and postcard designed by @sacree_frangine!

I've literally been living in my Cozy Cloud Wrap (just ask Evan!) and have gotten to use all these products, but what's really cool about @causebox is how each brand they feature gives back to the community through various sustainable and ethical missions -- and if ya know me, you know I'm all about that!

Anyways, pardon me now while I go bake some cookies using my new silicone sheets (in my Cozy Cloud Wrap, of course) 🍪☁️

Start with a thin, pancake-like batter and a hot s Start with a thin, pancake-like batter and a hot skillet. Pour the batter into the skillet all at once and slide it into a hot oven. Within a few minutes, the batter will start to puff around the edges, rising higher and higher until this “pancake” looks more like a poofy pillow. Once those edges turn golden and you can’t resist the sweet aroma of baked goods any longer, it’s ready.⁣
⁣
Out of the oven, the Dutch baby will quickly collapse back into the pan — the steam holding it up quickly evaporates in the cooler air of your kitchen. But no bother — what’s left behind is a pancake with the soft, tender texture of a hot crepe.⁣
