How To Make McDonald’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you have made chocolate chip cookies before you will recognize that most of these ingredients look familiar. However, the proportions may differ from what you are used to. This cookie batter comes out to look more like a cake batter, rather than a chocolate chip cookie dough. Never fear, you will be in for a delicious treat with this kind of cookie dough. Let’s begin by looking at how these cookies are made. 

Start off by adding your soft butter, eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir on medium speed until the mixture becomes creamy in texture. Next, add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract to your mixture. Stir to combine. Once your mixture is completely combined, add your flour. Stir over low speed until your flour is completely dissolved into your dough. 

Now it’s time for your chocolate chips! Add your chocolate chips to your cookie batter and stir until mixed in. Set your mixer aside and scoop or roll your dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on a greased cookie sheet. Bake until your cookies are done to your desired preferences. This will take between 8 and 12 minutes to complete. Remove from the oven allow to cool before serving. Enjoy!

McDonald’s Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

16 Tbsp butter, soft (1 cup)
3 large eggs
1 ½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ¼ tsp salt
¾ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Methods of Preparing Step by Step:

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F

Step 2: Make Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl add butter, eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until combined and creamy in texture. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla to your mixture. Stir to combine. Finally, add your all-purpose flour to the mixture, stir at a low speed until combined. Once combined, add chocolate chips, and stir just until mixed in.  

Step 3: Bake

Next prepare your baking sheet by spraying each cookie sheet with baking spray. Next, using a cookie scoop, place your cookie dough onto your cookie sheet. Or roll your cookie dough into balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Place your cookie dough balls evenly spread apart on your cookie sheet. Place into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until cookies are baked to your desired amount of doneness. 

Step 4: Cool

Once your cookies are finished baking, remove them from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for about five minutes on the baking sheet before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat the baking process until all your cookie dough is baked. Serve and enjoy!

Note

One note on this recipe is that if you prefer your cookies to be flat rather than thick, you will want to only add about 2-2½ cups of flour to your cookie dough rather than 3 cups. That will make your cookies much flatter, be aware of this when baking them. You will most likely want to make them for less time if you desire flat cookies. Otherwise, follow the recipe as stated above.
