Subway Style Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Subway Style Chocolate Chip Cookies use a balance of brown and granulated sugars along with salted butter to create a dough that is tender yet sturdy enough to hold chocolate chips evenly. Vanilla extract and an egg contribute to the flavor and structure, while a touch of salt and baking soda provide leavening and flavor enhancement. Mixing until just combined helps maintain a soft texture after baking.
The dough is portioned into golf ball-sized rounds spaced about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then baked at 350ºF (175ºC). The short bake time ensures the cookies have lightly golden edges but remain soft in the center. Cooling on the baking tray allows gentle carryover cooking to finish them perfectly.
This cookie pairs well with a glass of milk or as a simple sweet treat any time of day. The recipe is straightforward, requiring softened butter and standard baking ingredients, making it suitable for home bakers seeking that familiar cookie texture and flavor reminiscent of the popular sandwich shop treat.
Notes emphasize using very soft butter for proper creaming and the correct salt type and amount. The recipe suggests alternatives to semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used for variations in flavor. These details help achieve the intended texture and taste.

- Then mix until everything is combined. Don't overmix.
- 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
- Ensure the butter is softened to easily leave an indent when pressed; if too cold, microwave briefly to soften.
- Use a large room temperature egg for best dough consistency.
- If substituting fine salt with kosher salt, add a pinch more to adjust seasoning.
- Baking soda (also known as bicarbonate of soda) is essential and should not be confused with baking powder.
- You may substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with other types for variation.
