These Subway Style Chocolate Chip Cookies are the best choc chip recipe ever! They are crisp around the edges, soft and slightly chewy in the center, and full of choc chips. They are seriously the best choc chip cookies! And you don’t need to chill the dough, meaning you can have these cookies in your mouth in under 30 minutes! Plus, the dough freezes perfectly and can be baked from frozen, so you can have a batch ready to go whenever the need for a cookie hits you!
Put the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat them together for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is light. 1 stick/ 115g softened salted butter½ cup/ 100g light brown sugar⅓ cup/ 75g granulated sugar

Roll golf ball-sized balls of dough and place them onto a baking sheet lined with cooking paper. Ensure they are 2”/5cm apart
Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. (They will be soft when you take them from the oven!)
Bang the baking sheet on the countertop to flatten the cookies; use a metal spoon to lightly flatten them further.
Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and leave to cool.
Notes
The butter wants to be very soft. Your finger should push through it easily. If you have cold butter, cut it into chunks, microwave it for 5-7 seconds, and then stir it together.
A large room temperature egg.
The measurements given in the recipe are for fine salt. If you are using kosher salt, add a pinch extra.
Baking Soda is also called Bi-carb, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Bicarbonate of Soda. Don’t get confused with baking powder.
