This is hands down our favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. That being said, this next sentence is what makes these cookies our very favorite! You make the cookie dough one day and then you bake the cookies another day. The cookie dough must be refrigerated for at least 24 hours before baking. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours. It is important to let the flavors infuse in the cookie dough. It’s what makes these cookies so amazing! Well worth the wait, at least most of the time. 🙂
Recipe Time!
Ingredients:
8 1/2 ounces bread flour (1 2/3 cups)
8 1/2 ounces cake flour (2 cups minus 2 TBS)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp coarse salt (if you don’t have coarse salt, we highly encourage you to get some…it makes all the difference when it reacts with the sweetness of the chocolate!)
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) salted butter
8 ounces (1 cup plus 2 TBS) granulated sugar
10 ounces (1 1/4 cups) light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (more or less to taste) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sea salt
Mixing Directions:
Sift both of the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both of the sugars together until the color is very light (takes about 5 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips. Press plastic wrap firmly against the dough and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. I repeat, the dough must be refrigerated for at least 24 hours before baking. It can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours. You can bake the cookie dough all at once or in batches.
Seriously, how amazing does this cookie dough look?
As you can see below, there are two layers of plastic wrap. One pressed firmly against the dough and one covering the top of the mixing bowl. It is important to keep the air out!
Baking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scoop large mounds ( larger than a golf ball) onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Bake until light brown (about 15 minutes). Transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Look below at the delicious, gooey goodness!
I promise you that you will love these chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy with a large glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee!

YUM these look so good. Always love a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Those look soooooo good! My mum would always refrigerate cookie dough ahead of time, but would never wrap it twice like shown here. I’m going to have to give this a try!!
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to try the recipe (and to see if I have the self-control to wait 24 hours!). Do you think I could use white chocolate chips with this recipe? And put maybe some macadamia nuts or cashews there too? If yes, then waiting 24 hours is really going to be a struggle 🙂
I’ve never tried adding white chocolate chips or macadamia nuts, but I don’t see why you couldn’t. As long as the chemistry of the ingredients can still take place over the 24 hours, I’d say you could add those without a problem! 🙂
Oh my! My sweet tooth is kicking in 🙂
These look AMAZING!! I am most definitely pinning this for future reference! The hard part will be waiting the 24 hours but judging by how yummy they look, I think it will be well worth it. The best part is that this is something I can do with the kids in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
Oooh! My family loves baking chocolate chip cookies. I don’t know if the dough will survive 24 hours though lol!
I know it’s hard to just stare at all that dough in your fridge for 24 hours…but trust us, it is well worth the wait!! 🙂
Oh my those pictures are killer. My mouth is so watering!!! If the cookies taste anything like they look AHHHHHHH (she screeches in a high note of happiness). Have you ladies tried freezing this heavenly goodness and how does it hold up?
BTW – might like to put a guest host of that post on my sight. I think my peps would enjoy a stellar cookie.
We have not tried freezing this recipe yet, but we’ve been contemplating it! It would be nice to just pop a few in the oven whenever you wanted. 🙂
We’d definitely be open to a guest post!
These look delicious and not like any choc. chip cookie I’ve ever made. I love how you can see the doughyness between the crisp outside of the cookie : )
Recipe sounds delicious! Pictures are great. Would love a little more “blog” so show the great personalities behind the scenes!
