Prep
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat while you gather your ingredients.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- Measure Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Cook
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Dry into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Assemble
- Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop to portion out 2 tablespoons of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each dough ball to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
- Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

As a master chef who loves optimizing kitchen workflows, I’ve crafted these make-ahead instructions to ensure you can enjoy our Cookie Fix copycat cookies anytime with minimal hassle. Preparing your dough in advance not only saves time but also enhances the flavors, making each bite even more delightful.
Preparing the Dough Ahead
- Combine Ingredients: Follow the recipe steps to mix your cookie dough until it’s perfectly combined.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This step helps the flavors develop and makes the dough easier to handle.
- Freeze for Extended Storage: If you want to prepare the dough further ahead, divide it into individual portions using a cookie scoop. Place the scooped dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
