So What Makes This Thick Old-Fashioned Chocolate Chip Recipe So Special?
It all starts with the ingredients. The key is to use high-quality butter, real vanilla extract, and of course, plenty of rich chocolate chips. But it’s not just about the ingredients – it’s also about the technique.
Creaming the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, adding just the right amount of dry ingredients, carefully folding in the chocolate chips, then chilling the cookie dough for up to 30 minutes before baking – these small steps make a big difference in creating the perfect thick chocolate chip cookie.
And we’re baking these at a higher temperature than the normal 350F. Baking at 375F, allows for the exterior of the cookie to brown and crisp up, while the interior stays just shy of being fully cooked, leaving it delightfully doughy and fudgy. Just what we were wanting! No flat cookies here and sure to satisfy with a large glass of cold milk! YUM!
These gourmet bakery treats are irresistibly thick and loaded with chocolate chips in every bite. Using only the finest ingredients, these cookies are the ultimate indulgence for any sweet tooth. Each of these cookies consist of about 1/2 cup of cookie dough for each of the cookies, giving you 6 jumbo cookies for this recipe.
So go ahead, bake up a batch or two and treat yourself to the ultimate extra thick giant chocolate chip cookie experience and try this recipe today!
Perfect for Mother’s day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, and special occasions, and when you want to cheer someone up, these cookies will definitely do the trick with smiles included!
Ingredients You Need
Super Thick Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
- ½ cup unsalted butter, straight from the fridge or room temperature
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar – can also use light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour, measured correctly
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions How to Make The Thickest Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until fluffy for 2-3 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together for a minute or so, dough will be crumbly.
- Next, add in the chocolate chips and mix into dough. I like to use my hands to mix the dough together, just make sure not to overmix the dough too much, but enough for the dough to stick together to form cookie dough balls.
- Divide the dough into 6 portions and form into large cookies. Place on the baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 375 and while the oven is preheating, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. Whatever size you wnat the cookies to be, is the shape you should make them. They will stay thick, but will puff up some while they bake.
- Bake the cookies for about 16-18 minutes. The outside will be golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack, as the cookies are still setting up.
- The cookies need to cool before serving and are best served at room temperature for thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Other Variations & Tips for Thick Old-Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies
- For thick, but smaller cookies, just make these cookies smaller and bake a few minutes less since they are smaller.
- Use good quality ingredients to get the best quality cookies – makes sense right?
- You can opt to not refrigerate after you make the cookie dough, and just bake right away. They will still be thick and delish because the butter is straight from the fridge, so the dough will still be slightly chilled.
- Add some walnuts, pecans, raisins, dried fruits like cherries or cranberries, flaky sea salt or some m&m’s for some texture or crunch to your cookies!
- Change out the chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips or your favorite chopped chocolate bar!
- Store chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Freezing Cookies
- Freeze baked cookies in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 30 days in the freezer and thaw at room temperature.
In conclusion, the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies wafting through the house is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. And there’s just something about the classic, timeless flavor of a soft, fudgy chocolate chip cookie that brings a warm sense of nostalgia and comfort.
So next time you’re craving a sweet treat, skip the fancy options and go for these good ol’ classic thick chocolate chip cookies. Go ahead, take a bite – we promise it will be worth it. You’ll absolutely love this thickest chocolate chip cookie recipe!
