The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
Don’t you wish you could just grab one or two of these chocolate chip cookies right off your screen!?
Well, I wish you could too because these are the BEST chocolate chip cookies EVER!
These chocolate chip cookies are chewy on the inside but not “doughy” with lightly crisp edges.
The best part is there is no waiting for hours for the dough to chill, just a quick 10 minutes in the freezer and these cookies come out big, thick and oh so delicious.
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
✔ With almost all my cookie recipes, I always make sure to remind you to not OVERMIX the cookie dough. Meaning, when you mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, only mix them together until just combined…you should still see some flour in your mixing bowl.
✔ I like to use Milk Chocolate Chips rather than Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips in these cookies, the milk chocolate chips takes these chocolate chip cookies to the next level. Trust me, you will want to use Milk Chocolate Chips all the time after you try these cookies.
✔ I always use a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop but if you don’t have a cookie scoop you can use a 1 Tablespoon measuring spoon. Each cookie dough ball has “2 scoops” of cookie dough, meaning that each cookie dough ball is 2 Tablespoons in size. In my opinion, this is the perfect sized cookie.
★ And to make it super easier for you to learn how to scoop the perfect cookie, I created a step-by-step guide on How To Scoop The Perfect Cookie!

Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 370F and then line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats; set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.
- Using an electric or stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add 1 egg at a time, mixing in between each addition.
- Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips until well combined with a spatula.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of cookie dough and place onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes and rotate the baking sheet clockwise before baking an additional 4-5 minutes, until golden brown along the edges.
- Once done baking, place additional chocolate chips on top of the cookies and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve once cooled.
Notes
- I always use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop but if you don’t have a cookie scoop you can use a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon. Each cookie dough ball has “2 scoops” of cookie dough, meaning that each cookie dough ball is 2 tablespoons in size. In my opinion, this is the perfect sized cookie.

These cookies are seriously amazing!
I have this dough in the freezer right now! I used white whole wheat flour because I’m all out of AP flour. Thanks for reminding us about National Chocolate Chip Cookie day on Instagram (dln1010) 😉
These turned out amazing!! One more question, do you know how the baking time would be adjusted if instead of 2 cookie scoops, only one is used – so it’s more of a mini cookie?
Hi! These cookies look amazing and I plan on using them for my daughters party. Question- you mention 10 min in the freezer in the description above but in the instructions it doesn’t mention anything about the freezer. Is this an important step at all?
Hi Jenni! No you do not need to freeze the cookie dough if you don’t want to. Enjoy, these chocolate chip cookies are a family favorite in our house! 🙂
I was a little bit afraid because the ingredients may change in Brazil but I followed the recipe and the tips and it worked! Thank you very much for sharing this recipe! It’s part of my cook book now
