This recipe recreates the legendary Gideon's Bakehouse cookies, known for their massive size and intensely rich chocolate flavor. Get ready for a chewy, decadent treat!
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are best served fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
