This Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is the ultimate copycat version, as close as it gets to their secret recipe. These soft, chewy cookies taste just like the warm cookies they sell at the Mrs. Fields shop the mall!
In a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, beat brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cubed butter until combined (mixture will look sandy). Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Roll ¼-cup portions of dough into balls. Place on a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place chilled dough balls 3 inches apart on prepared sheets. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until tops are just set and they are starting to brown along the edges.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Notes
Don’t skip chilling the dough—this keeps the cookies thick and chewy.Don't overbake. Cookies will look slightly underdone when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.For a bakery-style look, press extra chocolate chips onto the tops before baking or right after they come out of the oven.Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
