Chocolate Chip Cookies (Mrs. Fields)

Growing up in Hong Kong we used to hang out at the mall - Pacific Place - and if you walked from Pacific Place to Admiralty there was a small cookie store called Mrs. Fields. The cookies smelled so good and were always baked to perfection. I can imagine the real recipe is one Mrs. Field's best kept secrets😁, but I saw a wonderful recipe on Delish.They taste EXACTLY as I remembered.

Try them, but.... be warned, there is no turning back 😆

INGREDIENTS

2 3/4 c. all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. kosher salt

1 c. (2 sticks) butter, cold, cut into cubes

1 c. packed dark brown sugar

1/2 c. granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 c. chocolate chips

 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350° (175 C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. 

In another large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugars until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Scrape down sides of bowl, add vanilla, and beat until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, then stir in chocolate chips. 

Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough 2" apart onto prepared pans. Bake until golden and edges are set, but middles are still soft, 13 to 15 minutes.
