This isn’t your supermarket cookie.
Bero’s Chocolate Chip Cookies are all about thick, gooey centers, crispy edges, and deep brown sugar flavor — the kind of cookie you pull apart and the chocolate stretches.
No fancy mixers, no chilling for days — just smart moves with simple ingredients.
Why These Cookies Hit Different
Melted butter sinks into the sugars.
Cornstarch sneaks in softness without turning cakey.
An extra yolk makes every bite feel rich.
You’re not whipping air into this dough. You’re making something thick, heavy, and serious — made to sink your teeth into.
Ingredients (And What They Do)
- Flour: Just enough structure. Too much? Dry bricks. Measure with a light hand.
- Baking Soda: Gives them lift without puffiness.
- Cornstarch: Secret trick for soft middles.
- Salt: You’ll notice if it’s missing.
- Melted Butter: Chewiness unlocked. Cool it a bit so you don’t scramble the eggs.
- Brown Sugar: The backbone — soft and deep caramel flavor.
- White Sugar: For that crackly edge.
- Egg + Yolk: Richness and binding.
- Vanilla: Real, not fake stuff. Big difference.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Not too sweet, just right.
How to Make Them
1. Prep Your Bowls
Mix the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a big bowl. Leave it there.
In another bowl, beat the melted butter and sugars until smooth — no lumps hanging around. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla. Stir again until glossy.
2. Make the Dough
Pour the wet stuff into the dry.
Fold it in with a spatula. It’ll look greasy at first — that’s fine. Keep going until it’s all one thick, heavy dough.
Chuck in your chocolate chips. Get your hands in there if you need to. It’s a workout, but worth it.
3. Chill It
Cover the bowl. Toss it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Overnight if you can.
(No shortcuts here — if you don’t chill, they’ll spread into pancakes.)
4. Bake
Let the dough sit on the counter 10 minutes before scooping.
Heat your oven to 325°F.
Line your trays with parchment.
Scoop out balls — bigger than golf balls, about 2 tablespoons. Stack them a little taller than wide.
Bake 12–13 minutes.
They’ll look too soft when you pull them out — trust the process. They set as they cool.
Pro Tip: While still warm, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops. Makes them look like bakery cookies.
Common Problems (And Easy Fixes)
| Problem | Why It Happens | Fix It |
|---|---|---|
| Flat Cookies | Dough too warm or no chill time | Always chill your dough solid |
| Tough Cookies | Too much flour, overmixing | Gentle hand, light flour scoop |
| Cookies Too Brown | Oven too hot | Stick to 325°F — no guessing |
What to Eat Them With
- Cold milk, obviously.
- Coffee — sharp and hot.
- Crushed into vanilla ice cream.
- Peanut butter slathered on top.
Eat them warm. Eat them frozen. No wrong answers.
Storing and Reheating
- Room Temp: 1 week sealed tight.
- Freezer: 3 months.
(Pro move: freeze the raw dough balls.)
To Reheat:
- 10 seconds in the microwave — just enough to melt the chocolate again.
- Oven at 350°F for 5 minutes if you like crisp edges.
A Quick Bite of Cookie History
Chocolate chip cookies were invented by accident — Ruth Wakefield didn’t have baking chocolate, chopped up a Nestle bar instead.
Bero’s version keeps that original spirit: rich, chewy, chocolate-loaded, and way better than anything out of a box.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients in a big bowl: flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in another bowl until smooth.
- Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla. Stir until combined.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry. The dough will be thick and a bit greasy. That’s normal.
- Mix in the chocolate chips by hand or with a strong spoon.
- Chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon balls. Make them taller rather than wide for thicker cookies.
- Bake for 12–13 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.
- Cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t skip chilling. Warm dough = flat cookies.
- Press extra chocolate chips on top right after baking if you want them to look bakery-style.
- Measure flour carefully. Too much = tough cookies.
- Underdone? Good. They finish setting up as they cool.
