These giant, bakery-style chocolate chip cookies are inspired by Ben & Jerry’s classic recipe—crispy on the edges, chewy in the center, and packed with gooey chocolate chunks!
In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Scoop large portions (about 0.25 cup per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Serving Tip: Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or use two cookies to make a delicious ice cream sandwich!
Storage: Keep these baked treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to maintain their soft and chewy texture.
Butter Temperature: Ensure your butter is properly softened at room temperature before mixing. This allows it to cream effectively with the sugars and creates the perfect crumb structure.
Wine Advice
Pairs beautifully with a rich sweet dessert wine like Port, complementing the gooey chocolate chips perfectly.
