createChewy chocolate chip cookies
Next to the french fry, the chocolate chip cookie is a nearly perfect food. It is without question one of my husband’s favorite things to eat — period. Thus, I was determined to try and better my recipe over the years. Some folks like their chocolate chip cookies crunchy, others like them bread-y. These come out crisp and chewy. Just as my hubby loves them.
Ready
- 2 cups of flour minus 1 tbsp
- ½ tsp of salt
- ½ tsp of baking soda
- 12 Tablespoons of unsalted butter — melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp of vanilla
- 1 ½ cup of chocolate chips (I like Guittard’s semi-sweet chips)
Set
- Mixer
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Pan to melt butter
- Cookie sheets
- Silipat
- Cooling racks
- Spoons
Go
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Mix flour, salt and baking soda together in a bowl.
- In your mixer, blend melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar.
- Mix in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
- Add combined dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour in chips and combine.
- Place silipat on cookie sheets. Use spoons to scoop out walnut-sized mounds of cookie dough onto sheets.
- Bake until cookies are light golden brown and outer edges are crisp usually for 12-14 minutes (start checking cookies at 10 minutes.)
- Let cookies rest for a minute before moving them to a cooling rack.
- Makes 3 dozen.
What you should know
I’ve been told by many bakers to reverse your cookie sheets’ positions (this means turning them around and switching the sheets from top to bottom and vice versa) halfway through your baking time in order to ensure even baking.

Oh my, oh my oh … are these cookies good. I made them with my sisters kids and boy was it fun. I think we ate more out of the bowl then we did the finished cookies. My sister was appalled but we were happy.
They are also super easy to make.
Have these cookies with a nice cold glass of milk … it would be criminal not to.
I had one of these again yesterday. It was like childhood flashing before my eyes as I sunk my teeth into one of these. Thanks for this recipe… it’s up there with the greatest of things.
I recently learned that if you refrigerate the cookie dough for 24-36 hours, it creates a richer dough, a more caramelized cookie — crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I added this step and it’s true! Just remember to leave time for the dough to thaw a bit before baking. Enjoy!
I made these yummy cookies for my daughter’s third birthday celebration for her classmates at school. I made extra. The teachers ate them all. I think they qualify me for super-mom status.
Yummy!!! They are really mouthwatering. Thanks for the tips. I gave it to my mom and she will prepare this for me shortly.

I’ve been told by many bakers to reverse your cookie sheets’ positions (this means turning them around and switching the sheets from top to bottom and vice versa) halfway through your baking time in order to ensure even baking. Would you recommend doing this?
Turning the sheets can’t hurt and will guarantee evenly cooked cookies. Experienced bakers will do this to allow for the variances of old ovens or ones that are not well calibrated. if you don’t have an issue with uneven cooking I would not bother.
If you are fortunate enough to have a convection oven use that setting. Not only will the cookies come out fluffier, but the moving hot air will ensure that the cookies cook more evenly. Use the same temperature, but be mindful of the time as they will likely cook faster.
Best chocolate chip cookies ever! Not too flat and not too cakey. Better than french fries.
lol (: That gives a whole new meaning to “fish and chips”.
Beautiful chocolate chip cookies! I’ll have to try your recipe next…
These cookies are so good I have been known to steal them from the children for whom they were intended. Keep them locked away… please!
