Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies are crisp on the outside, gooey in the middle, and packed with chocolate chips. With a rustic appearance and rich texture, they’re a perfect bakery-style treat made right at home. The dough is frozen before baking to keep the cookies thick and molten in the center, making each bite a chocolate lover’s dream.
