I found this recipe years ago while looking for one on Pinterest. I am unsure who first developed it but it is by far the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have tried. I’ve even been told it is better than your grandmas cookies (shhh…don’t let her know). With that a lot of these ingredients can be switched out for whatever you like. If you do not have a certain ingredient fret not, a quick substitution is an easy fix. Also, feel free to add lib and make it your own!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

1. Preheat your over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Melt your butter (8 Tbsp), make sure it is not super hot.
3. Cream the butter and sugars (1/2 cup white and 1/4 cup brown) until creamy. The brown sugar can be light or dark, whichever you have. The main difference is dark is sweeter.
4. Mix the egg (1 whole) and vanilla (1 tsp) with the creamed sugars till just incorporated. The vanilla can be pure or imitation. You do not want to over mix the egg because it can make the cookies stiff.
5. Add your flour (1 1/2 cups), baking soda (1/2 tsp), and salt(1/4 tsp) and mix until crumbles form. If you used salted butter I usually do not add salt at this step, I think it makes them to salty but that is just my opinion.
6. Add in the chocolate chips (3/4 cups) and mix it all together with you hands to make a large ball.
7. Roll out the dough to your preference and bake for about 9-11 minutes. They should look puffy and barely golden.
8. Let them cool or you’ll risk burning your mouth (trust me). Store however you like if there are leftovers.

Notes

The dough can be frozen and baked at a later time. I would let it thaw so rolling out cookies will be easier. I’ve added M&Ms to mine before and enjoyed them. A lot of the ingredients are guidelines. They do not need to be perfect measurements.
