I adore Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies. I used to grab them in the mall all the time but now I just make my copycat whenever I start craving them. They are so chewy and soft with those classic crisp edges. Plus I add a nice amount of chocolate to the batter that gets all gooey once I bake it.

- Shape the cookies into golf ball-sized rounds and place them two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Ingredients
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter 2 sticks
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients
- Stir in the chocolate chips
- With your fingers, place golf ball-sized dough sections 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or just until edges are light brown.
Notes
- Preheat your oven. It may feel a bit of a waste to let the oven heat up empty but all your baked goods will come out much better when cooked in a hot oven.
- Don’t forget to allow your butter to soften! This makes the mixing much easier and combines the ingredients much better.
- Let the cookies cool before eating! I know it’s hard to wait but you don’t want to burn your mouth with molten hot chocolate.
- Don’t over mix the dough. After adding the flour mix just long enough for all the ingredients to combine to avoid activating the gluten too much which will effect the texture of the cookies.
Can I freeze chocolate chip cookies?
Yes, most definitely! Freezing cookies is a great way to extend their freshness even longer. An airtight container is essential so they don’t pick up any flavors in the freezer. You can store cookies for up to six months int he freezer.Nutrition

Yep! You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate chips (makes a much sweeter cookie), white chocolate chips, peanut butter or butterscotch chips, or even m&m’s for something really different. Try to keep the total amount of chips and other mix-ins around 12 ounces so the texture of the cookies remain the same.

Love the recipe! Can I chill the cookie dough before I bake it? Will that make a difference to the quality?
If you chill the dough, it keeps it from spreading as much.
not as good as the real thing.
I had a much better recipe but I lost it, and was hoping this one was close, but it’s a decent CC cookie recipe. I probably won’t make it again.
This recipe has replacement all my other chocolate chip recipes. I love how they are soft and so good. I have tried several of your recipes and they are all amazing.
I can’t tell you how much I love that you include an option to convert the ingredients to metric! Now that I’m living outside of the US and everything is in metric, I end up converting to metric when I bake or cook. I do prefer to weigh the ingredients over using a measuring cup anyway. Thank you!
thank you for breaking down this recipe! Love being able to make these at home, even after Christmas, and definitely appreciate the soft inside!
My family and I are crazy about these cookies! They’re the perfect balance of chewy cookie and melting chunks of chocolate. Another winner from Grandbaby Cakes!
I made these cookies last night and they are definitely my new favorite cookie! So tasty and easy to make!
soft decadent treat for this Christmas. Chocolate chip cookies are our favorite and this recipe has been the best so far.
