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 (I believe in Ghirardelli only:)

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!
