Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring all sugar is fully incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can result in tough cookies.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use Quality Chocolate: Semi-sweet chocolate chips work best for that authentic Subway flavor.
- Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookie sizes and even baking.
- Watch Baking Time: Remove cookies when edges are golden but centers are still soft for that signature chewy texture.
- Cool Correctly: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
