How to Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Scoop your dough as usual onto your favorite cookie sheet.
Press your dough down slightly like so before baking.
Here’s what you get. Heaven.
The texture to these cookies are quite fabulous. Get baking!
This batch was baked for 10 minutes exactly. Slightly underdone which makes them soft and lovely. I did another batch at about 13 minutes which was browned and firmer. I enjoyed both batches, lol! Try one of each and see what you like. Store your cooled, leftover cookies into an air tight container. Try chilling in the refrigerator. They’re amazing cold too. Enjoy!

This is my first time visit at here and i am actually impressed to read everthing at alone place.

Hi! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading through your
articles. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics?
Appreciate it!
These are by far the best chocolate cookies I’ve ever made…and tasted!!! These will be my “go-to” from now on. Thanks!!!
So glad to hear it Maria, thanks for the feedback.
Każdy z nas zetknął się z problemem, polecam zaznajomienie się z przedmiotem.
These cookies r delish! Added a third of the sugar and half the choc chips, but also used mini, also substituted cashew meal for half of the flour. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!!!
I am in search for my perfect cookie recipe, which is a soft/chewy on the inside, kinda crispy on the outside, and flat/thin and so I found this on pintrest and it looked really good and easy to make. I just made these and it didn’t look as flat as the ones in the pictures (which is understandable since you never said this is supposed to be super flat) but holy cow these tasted great and they’re so soft it just melts in your mouth. Everybody loves these and they still look great AND it stays soft for days. Thank you for the recipe! If I don’t find a better recipe, which I doubt I will, this is definitely THE ONE.
I’ve made these at least once a week since I found this recipe. They are amazing!
My husband and I have been on the search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. After what seems like a billion recipes, I came across this one tonight… HANDS DOWN the absolute best cookies we’ve made!
Hi Katheryn, thank you for your comment!! I’m glad you love them. 🙂
Man…..major fail. One huge mess. DON’T make this at all………..somebody’s idea of a joke, I suppose.
I’ve been looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe for a long time, and after discovering this recipe, I’ve finally found it! Thank you so much for sharing this lovely recipe!
These also taste AMAZING with one cup of caramel bits and one cup of chocolate bits! — so so so good!
Soooo glad to hear it Kate! Thanks for the feedback!
I think I just found the holy grail chocolate chip cookies! Just made a batch of these and they were amazing! It was a bit too much chocolate chips for me though, so I’ll cut down a bit on that next time. Pinning this for future baking! Thanks 🙂
I made these for our beach trip next week. They are so good. Can’t wait to share them with our friends, pool side. 🙂
Do you know how much extra flour I should add for high altitude?
Is this 1 and 1/2 sticks butter?
Just made these for my younger brother’s varsity football banquet. My new ABSOLUTE favorite classic chocolate chip cookie recipe and go-to from now on! SO delicious and gooey!
These cookies are amazing! I just baked a batch, but I used a mixture of chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s peanut butter eggs as I’m trying to get rid of some Easter candy. Hands down the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever made!
These are fantastic. I love this recipe, it’s my new go to for chocolate chip!! I was even inspired to make a giant cookie using this recipe and everyone that came over for Easter loved it.
Thanks so much Jenny.
So glad to hear it Anne Marie! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe. I made these about an hour ago and they are wonderful!
Great recipe!! Thank you for sharing.
Hi, i’ve read some blogs where they suggest to keep the dough in the fridge for awhile before baking. Is it a need to do that for your recipe?
Making these while stuck inside becuase of the blizzard. Didn’t have 2 cups of chocolate chips so I am adding toffee, one cup of each chocolate chips and toffee..can’t wait to see how they come out!
Jenny – I made these this morning and they just didn’t come out right I followed the recipe exactly. I am a little confused about the butter. Is the recipe for 1 stick and 1/2 cup of butter or are you just indicating that 1 stick is a half a cup…kind of confusing. I don’t know what went wrong. The dough was really crumbly and the cookies didn’t stay together. Some of the cookies on the sheet were under cooked and some were over cooked. Ugh, I really wanted these to work!
Hi Samantha, it is just 1 stick of butter which is also equal to 1/2 cup. I wonder what went wrong, I make this recipe all of the time.
I made these cookies for my family on Sunday, they were gone by Monday evening. We all agree these were the best chocolate chip cookies ever!
Just found your site today thanks to my sister….these look delicious so i just whipped them up and they are baking right now! I was a little short on both sugars but that’s okay…can’t wait to try them!
I’m back! They are done, made exactly as directed – cooked 12 minutes and they are perfect! Thanks for the recipe, this is replacing my old chocolate chip cookie recipe!
These were great! I made them tonight except I used 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and 1 cup of semi-sweet! They were the perfect chewiness!
Yay! So glad to hear it!
I also added a teaspoon of cream of tartar and increased the mixing times for the first and second mixings. My sister in law taught me both of those techniques and they really help to keep the dough soft. These were great cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
The cookies are very tasty but mine did not turn out soft! Any idea about how that could have happened? I followed the recipe and measured exactly.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this recipe! I just made it for my roommate and boyfriend, and my boyfriend just said,”I think my grandmother just rolled over in her grave, these are the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had.” I hope this is the tipping point that leads to the ring?
Too cute! So glad you enjoyed!
I love soft batch cookies – I will need to try that cornstarch trick for sure!
Oh gosh, is it ok to make cookies for breakfast? These look so good! I keep seeing corn starch in cookies lately, I think I’m finally going to have to try it!
It is only 10:40 here and you just made me crave cookies! They look delicious. I love soft cookies over crunchy ones.
I’m always looking to try a new chocolate chip recipe! This one is fabulous!
