Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie

Who doesn't love a good Chocolate Chip Cookie from Mrs. Field's while at the shopping mall? I'm guilty of eating a cookie from Mrs. Fields every time I've gone to the mall lately and have zero regrets. Anyway, I was browsing online for a recipe for a different cookie when I stumbled upon the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe for Mrs. Fields. I made the cookies right away and they are SOOOOO GOOOOOD. This will be my go to Chocolate Chip Cookie going forward and Dr. Sweetpea ate several cookies in one sitting. 

Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookie

(Source: Pop Sugar)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup dark brown sugar (firmly packed)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup cold salted butter, cut into cubes

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 300°F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a wire whisk. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, blend the sugars at medium speed. Add the cold butter, and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix at low to medium speed just until blended. Do not overmix. Add the flour mix and chocolate chips, and blend at a low speed just until mixed. Do not overmix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 20-22 minutes until golden. Transfer cookies immediately to a cool surface with a spatula. You can line sheets with parchment and transfer to a cold surface to do it faster.

**Note: I used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls that are 4 tablespoons each. I refrigerated these cookie dough balls for a few hours before baking in the often for a total of 22 minutes. Next time I’m going to create dough balls that are 2 tablespoons and bake for 11 minutes for smaller cookies.
