Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chip Cookies-Copycat

There’s chocolate chip cookies, then there are THESE chocolate chip cookies. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. You’ll be as big a fan of these as I am after the first batch.

A few tips for you first. If it says “just blended” or “just mixed”. LISTEN. 😂 The fastest way to flat cookies is to over-mix it. Also, make sure your baking soda is fresh and use unsalted butter.

Last but not least, make sure your cookie sheets cool between batches. I use three so one is always cooled by the time I need it again.

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
