Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 12 cookies — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 125 g unsalted butter, very soft
- ¾ cup (165 g) packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups (270 g) plain flour
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1½ cups (255 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Method
- Beat the soft butter, both sugars, vanilla and salt on medium-high for 3–4 minutes until very light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and egg yolk. Whisk the flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt together, then mix in only until the flour streaks just disappear. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and chill the dough at least 30 minutes (overnight is best).
- Heat the oven to 190°C. Scoop 2-tablespoon balls onto lined trays, 3 inches apart.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden but the centres still look slightly soft. Cool 5 minutes on the tray. Tip: the chill is non-negotiable — warm dough spreads into thin crisps — and pull them while the centres look underdone; they set as they cool, and that is what keeps them soft and chewy like Subway’s.
