Not just another Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe

There is always room for one more chocolate chip cookie recipe, especially this one! I know there are hundreds of recipes out there, and we all have our favourites, but this one, this is our absolute most favourite of them all.

Rich, buttery, crispy and chewy!

These are the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. They’re truly everything you imagine when you’re craving a chocolate chip cookie…they’re not cakey or too crunchy. Just perfectly crispy and chewy and chocolatey and delicious.

And the absolute best warm from the oven. Oh my.

Makes a big batch!

This recipe makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies. I love a cookie recipe that makes a batch big enough that you can freeze half for later. In a house with teenagers, cookies disappear quickly so I appreciate being able to freeze some to bring out later for school lunches or snacks. Oh, and frozen cookies are SO good…do you sneak them out of the freezer like I do? haha

I hope you try this recipe and love it as much as we do!

Recipe Tips:

Baking Time: Bake these cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. The longer you bake them, the less chewy they will be.
Storage: Store in an airtight container to keep them soft and chewy.
Freezing: These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.

Ingredient Notes:

Flour: Use regular, all-purpose flour.
Butter: I use salted butter.
Chocolate Chips: This recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, but feel free to use white chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate. Even butterscotch or peanut butter chips would be great!
