Bakery Style Chocolate Cookies AKA Boyfriend Cookies
These are one of my most beloved recipes. They are just like the cookies you buy from your favorite bakery, packed full of big chunks of chocolate. The nickname comes from the fact these were the first thing I ever baked for my boyfriend (now my husband) when we used to work together. These cookies don't need any chill time, and the batch can be scaled to suit whatever you need!

Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 112 g (½ cup) Unsalted Butter Softened
- 100 g (½ cup) Light Brown Sugar
- 100 g (½ cup) Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp (1 tsp) Vanilla Extract
- 1 (1) Large Egg
- 160 g (1 ⅓ cups) All Purpose Flour
- 30 g (6 tbsp) Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp (½ tsp) Baking Soda
- 150 g (1 ¼ cups) White Chocolate Chips or a Chopped up Bar
- 150 g (1 cup) Milk Chocolate Chips or a Chopped up Bar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉/180℃. Line 2 large baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar until fully creamed (about 3 minutes on high speed). Then add the egg and vanilla and mix again.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and the pinch of salt! Stir together until just combined. Add in the chocolate chunks (or use chocolate chips, either are fine!). Reserve some chocolate to sprinkle on top prior to baking
- Use a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the trays - approximately 3/4 cookies per tray, at least 3 inches apart they spread a good amount! Don't worry if it looks a little runnier than standard cookie dough. Scatter any extra chocolate over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, when the edges look crisp (they will continue to bake a little once removed from the oven). Let cool. Repeat for all remaining batter.
