These Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are thick, chewy, and packed with chocolatey goodness, just like the ones you’d find in a high-end bakery. The secret to their perfect texture lies in the combination of cornstarch and the use of cold butter, which helps to keep the cookies thick and gooey. The batter is loaded with semisweet chocolate chips for the ultimate sweet, rich flavor. These cookies bake up golden on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or just a treat, these cookies will impress everyone with their bakery-style perfection.
