Tips For Making The Best Cookies
- Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Always use butter, not margarine. ALWAYS. I prefer salted butter for my chocolate chip cookies. Try it!
- Do not ever grease your cookie sheets. Will make cookies spread and change texture.
- Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Try sprinkling dough with just a touch of salt for a perfect sweet and salty combination.
- Don’t overtake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.

I love this idea
Looks easy to make it… I’ll try it when I finish my diet.
Classic cookie recipes like this are the best!! You know they must be good if they’ve stood the test of time.
I made these today and they are delicious. Came out looking exactly like yours did. I love your website and recipes Every new recipe I try turns out great and finds itself in my cooking/baking routine.
My pregnancy cravings and I thank you for this recipe. Bless you! 🙂
Can you post some variations without peanut butter? I love this idea, but my daughter doesn’t like PB (more for me!!). Could you make this work with say, oats? I imagine you would have to add some moisture?…
Thanks!
You could use another nut butter, almond maybe.
So excited about this cookie for one!!!
Always the perfect cookie! 🙂 xoxo
These are just brilliant! I love baking with my girl in the kitchen — we’ll have to add these to our list!
This is so beyond perfect. I’m living the single life with my husband working night shift again – this is gettin’ made!
Great for my sweet tooth when I just need one big bite!! 🙂
A single serving cookie is the perfect idea! Cant wait to make one..or two 🙂

A single serve peanut butter chocolate chip cookie is a great idea!
Love this idea, Jenny! A delicious treat that doesn’t take a lot of effort! Plus, it’s hard to eat just one peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. This helps with portion control! 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
What size cookie scoop is that? Looks delicious!!
Love this so I don’t have to share….haha 😉
This is perfect for all of those times when I don’t feel like making a whole batch of cookies but I just really want a hot one. I’ll just have to figure out how to keep it a secret now!
