Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Only Recipe You’ll Ever Need

The perfect chocolate chip cookie is easier than you think!

With a few simple ingredients, you can have delicious cookies on hand. Make a batch of dough and store them in the freezer for a last minute treat. Simply take them from the freezer, slice them, and bake them until golden brown.

Of course, you could always go ahead and make a batch to enjoy right now!


I’m not saying that I make the best chocolate chips cookies ever. Because I know there are varying opinions… chewy, crunchy, soft, crispy…people care.

I am saying that a lot of people have told me that I make the best chocolate chip cookies ever. So, either I make the best cookies, or I hang out with the best people…or maybe both!

Anyway, here’s the recipe so that you can decide for yourself!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time11 mins
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 18 cookies (large)

Equipment

  • Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Ice Cream Scoop for big cookies, Tablespoon for small cookies. Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter unsalted, browned in oven (1 cup)
  • 2 cups brown sugar light
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour all purpose
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 bag chocolate chips semi sweet

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Melt 2 sticks of butter in the oven. I always just put it in a small oven safe dish and let it sit in the oven while the oven preheats. But be careful not to let it burn.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a bowl if using a hand mixer) cream the 2 cups of brown sugar with 2 sticks of melted butter. Careful not to over mix.
  • Add 2 eggs and mix until just incorporated.
  • Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix. Again, careful not to over mix.
  • Combine the dry ingredients (3 cups flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda) except the chocolate chips. Whisk them together so they are well incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) to the wet ingredients. Mix until all of the flour is incorporated.
  • Add in the chocolate chips and mix again.
  • Using an ice cream scoop for large cookies (about 6 on a baking sheet) or a tablespoon measuring spoon for smaller cookies (about 8 on a baking sheet) place the cookies on a baking sheet. Leave enough space so they have some room to spread slightly.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes and watch them closely.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cool surface.
  • Enjoy!

Favorite Tools for the Perfect Cookies:

I really like making these cookies in this cast iron skillet, slightly under-baking them, and then topping it with ice cream!

One of the most useful kitchen tools I have is a Silpat baking mat. Any variety will do and while they seem expensive, you won’t regret it!

Ice cream scoops help portion out the perfect cookies. Traditionally, they are 1/4 cup and are similar to this one. More recently, I started making smaller cookies and found a smaller scoop size to help out. You can find that here.

You can definitely mix these by hand but if you have a Kitchenaid Mixer, use the paddle attachment like this one to be sure you get an even mix without overmixing!

JT and I had been married for about 2 weeks when h JT and I had been married for about 2 weeks when he asked “what are we having for dinner” on the wrong day 🤣  I thought (and probably said) I have been at work all day too, why do I always have to come up with something for dinner?! 🤨  From that day on we have had a “menu”. It’s a rough draft of what we’re going to eat that week and it may change but it gives us a starting point! If JT gets home before me, he even starts dinner because he knows what we’re having.  If you haven’t done a menu before, it may be the game changer you need! Start with just a couple days a week and try to keep it realistic. I mean “frozen pizza” is on the menu 🤗  For 12 weeks of full menus ready for you and your family, join my online course.
