Ingredients

There are really not any surprises to the ingredients you need on hand to make a batch of Mrs. Field’s chocolate chip cookies. If you don’t have them at the house, you can find them in just about any grocery store.

• Butter: Use unsalted butter and let it soften slightly so it mixes more easily. If you happen to use salted butter instead, just be sure to adjust the salt you add just a bit.
• Sugar: This recipe uses granulated sugar and brown sugar. They both add sweetness but the higher percentage of brown sugar is what makes the cookie nice and soft.
• Vanilla extract: For best flavor use pure vanilla extract and not imitation.
• Salt: Necessary to balance out the sweetness in the cookies.
• Chocolate chips: Semi sweet chocolate chips is best for a balanced cookie.

How to Make Copycat Mrs. Field’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies go together super quickly. You only need about 5-10 minutes of hands-on time to prepare a batch.

1. Combine the butter, both sugars, eggs and vanilla in a bowl and beat them with an electric mixer until creamy.
2. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in another bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir to combine. 

3. Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined.

4. Shape the cookies into golf ball-sized rounds and place them two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until edges are light brown.

6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking pan slightly and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling down.

How to Store

I find that when I make these for the family, we never have leftovers but if you do here are some tips for storing them so they stay fresh longer.

Leftovers: Store the leftover Mrs. Field’s chocolate chip cookies in an airtight plastic or metal container. They may soften up a bit more when stored. Don’t refrigerate but keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. They will last for up to a week but I think they taste best when eaten within the first couple days.

Can I freeze chocolate chip cookies?

Yes, most definitely! Freezing cookies is a great way to extend their freshness even longer. An airtight container is essential so they don’t pick up any flavors in the freezer. You can store cookies for up to six months int he freezer. When you want to eat, remove the desired amount and allow them to thaw on the counter for 30 minutes.

How to Warm Up Cookies

If you love the warmth of fresh baked cookies, I totally get it! There’s nothing like it. If you want to make leftover cookies feel fresh from the oven, here are some ways to reheat!

• Microwave: The simplest and all it takes is a few seconds. The only downside is it doesn’t crisp up the edges!
• Oven or air fryer: Preheat the oven or air fryer to 325° and then heat cookies for about 2-3 minutes.

Expert Tips and FAQs

• Preheat your oven. It may feel a bit of a waste to let the oven heat up empty but all your baked goods will come out much better when cooked in a hot oven.
• Don’t forget to allow your butter to soften! This makes the mixing much easier and combines the ingredients much better.
• Let the cookies cool before eating! I know it’s hard to wait but you don’t want to burn your mouth with molten hot chocolate.
• Don’t over mix the dough. After adding the flour mix just long enough for all the ingredients to combine to avoid activating the gluten too much which will effect the texture of the cookies.
