Chick-fil-A Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chick-fil-A chocolate chip cookies have become a favourite among customers. They are known for their perfect balance of chocolatey and sweet flavours, so these cookies are perfect for those who want something sweet with their meal or just want to have a homemade treat.

Ingredients you’ll need:

• 2 sticks of unsalted butter (about 1 cup)
• 3/4 cup of Granulated Sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar packed (light or Dark)
• Vanilla extract 2 teaspoons
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• Baking soda, 1 tablespoon
• Half a teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup rolled oatmeal (optional but gives a nice texture).
• Add 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts to the mix for crunch.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 175degC (350degF), then this temperature is ideal for baking chewy, soft cookies without over-browning them.

2. Butter and sugars creamed:

Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated white sugar in a large bowl. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy. It should only take about 2 to 3 minutes, so creaming is the key to achieving a soft, chewy texture.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla:

After the butter and sugars have been creamed, add the eggs one by one, making sure that each egg is completely incorporated before adding another. Add the vanilla and stir well, so the vanilla and eggs will add to the texture and flavour of the cookies.

4. Mix the dry ingredients:

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose baking soda and salt, so this will ensure that the baking soda is distributed evenly through the dough.

5. Mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients:

Here mix the ingredients on low speed, adding the dry ingredients slowly. Mix until the dough begins to form. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies.

6. Add chocolate chips and optional add-ins.

When the dough has been prepared, add the semi-sweet chips. Add oats, chopped nuts and/or sliced almonds now to add texture and flavour.

7. Scoop the dough:

Use a cookie spoon or tablespoon to scoop portions of the dough, and then roll them into small balls. Place the dough ball about 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet that has not been greased. You can use larger portions of the dough if you like bigger cookies. However, they will need to be baked for an additional minute or two.

8. Make the cookies:

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven or until they are golden brown around the edges and still soft at the centre. As the cookies cool, they will continue to cook.

9. Cool Cookies

Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack, so this will help them to set and keep their chewy texture.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy warm: These cookies taste great when they are still hot from the oven, then enjoy them with a glass of milk.
• Pack these cookies in your child’s lunchbox or snack on them throughout the day.
• Give Them As Gifts: You can give these cookies as gifts to friends and family for their birthdays, holidays or simply because you like them!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes:

• Use Butter at Room Temperature: The butter should be softened but not melted. Butter at room temperature will cream with sugars better, contributing to the chewy texture of the cookies.
• Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until combined to get the best texture.
• The Dough Can Be Chilled (Optional). Cooling the dough between 30 minutes and an hour can help to make the cookies less spreadable and give them a chewier, thicker texture.
• Add more chocolate chips: To make your cookies even more chocolatey, sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips over each cookie before it is baked.
• For longer storage, store leftover cookies in an airtight jar at room temperature.
