Everyone could use a great, go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. The kind that’s easy to make and is hard to mess up – like these Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies.

This Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe makes the kind of cookies that are soft and full of melty chocolate. The edges are a little chewy and a little crisp.

They’re the kind of cookies that you’d find in a bakery or in a corner cafe. And if you try these, they may just become your new go-to cookies, too.

How to make bakery-style chocolate chip cookies

First, beat the butter and shortening together until combined. Then, beat in the sugars until well-combined.

Next the eggs are mixed in, and then the dry ingredients are mixed in until just combined.

Finally, the chocolate chips are stirred in, and the the dough is covered and chilled.

Why use shortening and butter?

Shortening and butter have different roles in this cookie recipe. The shortening helps to make the cookies soft and helps them to hold their shape as they bake.

The butter brings the flavor. Together they make cookies that are both soft and tasty.

Can I eat the cookie dough?

I don’t recommend it. The cookie dough has raw eggs and uncooked flour in it. If you want to try raw cookie dough, check out my edible cookie dough recipe instead.

How do I know when the cookies are finished baking?

These cookies should look a little a little pale and underbaked in the middle. The edges should just light golden brown.

Baking the cookies so that the middles are just a little underdone helps the cookies to stay soft.

Storing the cookies

I store these cookies in a resealable bag.
