Jersey Mike’s Cookie Recipe

These soft, thick, melty chocolate chip cookies taste just like the famous Jersey Mike’s ones. I make them with brown butter, dark chocolate chunks, and a little espresso for deep flavor. They bake up thick and chewy in the center with perfect crispy edges.

Notes

These cookies bake up thick, gooey in the center, crisp at the edges, and taste almost exactly like the Jersey Mike’s classic cookie. Browning the butter and chilling the dough are the secrets to getting that perfect texture.
