Cafe Style Chewy and Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love these chocolate chip cookies. Chewy and soft, with a hint of caramel, these Chocolate Chip Cookies are just like the ones that we serve at our cafe. A perfect treat for any cookie monster, these cookies are flavorful and really reminds you of the big classic chocolate chip cookies from childhood. The dough may seem a little finicky but with the extra love, these chocolate chip cookies will be the best you've ever had. Make sure to really brown the butter and allow it to cool, so that the additional butter added will help the dough hold it's structure and taste. If you find your dough a little wet simply refrigerate until the dough holds as balls. Give this delicious cookie recipe a try!
