  • Egg– This will be the binding agent of our cookies.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

Do you chill the cookie dough before baking?

You can make this recipe with both chilled or unchilled dough. I prefer the child dough method because it results in cookies that are a tad bit thicker since the chilling allows the flour to absorb more liquid. It also allows the flavors of the chocolate chunk cookies to develop even more.

If you decide to make these cookies without chilling the dough, bake them for 1-2 minutes less.

How to store these Chick Fil A cookies?

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also pop them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

Once you’re ready to enjoy them pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to get them ooey gooey again and enjoy!

Can I freeze CFA chocolate chunk cookies?

Yes! You can also freeze these baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Once you’re ready to enjoy them thaw them in the fridge overnight or on the countertop for less.

My favorite way to thaw these is to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and enjoy them!

Can I make mini Chick Fil A cookies?

Yes, you can! Instead of making 16 larger cookies, you will be able to make 32 smaller ones. Instead of baking them for 13-14 minutes, bake them for 10 minutes instead.

    Thanks so much

    I don’t like using shortening, can I just use all butter? I’m American, but I live in Amsterdam, so I’m not sure I could even find shortening? I really want to try these though…..Miss Chick-fil-A and these cookies.
    Thanks,

    These are soooo good!! Some copycat recipes are delicious while not resembling the original that much, but THESE were such a good mock-up of Chick-fil-a’s. My family devoured them!

      Oh I also added a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top which I think balanced out the sweetness really well!

    I just made these tonight! So good and so close to the original chick fil a cookie! For me they’re a bit sweet, so next time I may reduce the amount of white sugar. They’re on par with the chick fil a cookies sweetness wise though, I just like a little less sweetness. Another thing I’d change to make them more like the chick fil a cookies would be to smash the cookie dough balls down a bit to make them a bit thinner. I just rolled then into balls. I think the recipe mentions mashing them? So listen to that! Overall super tasty!

    Easy to make and rave reviews from everyone! I didn’t have old-fashioned oats, so used quick. They turned out delicious, but I will use old-fashioned next time! One person said these are BETTER than Chick-Fil-A!!
