Servings

Prep Time
5 minutes
Cook Time
20 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs (chilled)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
1 cup bittersweet/dark chocolate chips, chunks, or leftover chocolate
-
1/2 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips, chunks, or leftover chocolate
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cold butter on medium speed, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix on medium-low speed until the mixture looks separated. Turn off the machine and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until the dough comes together. Turn off the machine and fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a rubber spatula.
- Drop the dough onto a parchment-lined sheet tray in 1-cup mounds. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake straight from the freezer until still slightly under baked in the middle but golden brown around the edges and beginning to brown on top, 20 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the tray for 5 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.

These are fun! And fabulous!
I have made them with bread flour and without. For a Valentine’s Day party, I cut up and froze some high end chocolate filled with caramel and added to cookie. The first few batches stayed together and were great! The last few the caramel melted to the bottle creating a crispy crust the boys at the party loved! (Easier to dip in milk without falling apart) I love her deserts I feel like they are tasty as is, but easy to play around with!
By far our favorite chocolate chip cookies and most requested dessert recipe from family and friends! Instead of dropping by the cupful, we use an ice cream scoop for the perfect sized cookie. We also sprinkle a bit of Himalayan sea salt on top before baking! Amazing still warm! Thanks Giada!
This tastes so good! Simple ingredients but the taste is amazing! Giada's recipes have never fails me. Tried a lots of her recipes, everytime is amazing <3
Literally the perfect chocolate chip cookies. Change my mind!!!
Such a simple but delicious recipe and they’re huge!
Giada What is the purpose of using bread flour? What does it do for the texture of the cookie? Thanks
Cookies is my all time favorite item to make. I have never used bread flour as you have called out on the Vegas cookie recipe. Why have you chosen to use it here and does it create a softer or chewier cookie?
