đź”§ Instructions: How to Make Copycat Chick-fil-A Cookies
1. Prep Your Oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy removal and even baking.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (2–3 minutes).
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Mix in the eggs one at a time. Then add the molasses and vanilla extract, beating until well incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mix to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
5. Add Mix-Ins
Fold in the oats, semi-sweet chocolate chunks, and milk chocolate chips. Don’t overmix—just enough to combine.
6. Scoop & Shape
Scoop large cookie dough balls (about 3 tablespoons each), gently flatten them, and space apart on the baking sheet.
7. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes. The edges should be golden brown, but the centers will look soft and slightly underbaked (that’s the secret to chewy cookies!).
8. Cool & Enjoy
Let cookies rest on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm—or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
🍫 Why This Recipe Works
- Molasses gives that distinct deep flavor and color.
- Oats provide a chewy texture without being oatmeal cookies.
- Two types of chocolate mimic that bakery-style richness.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Freeze for Freshness
Scoop the dough and freeze it in balls—then bake straight from the freezer (add 1–2 extra minutes of baking time). Perfect for fresh cookies anytime.
