Chocolate chip cookies are a classic sweet dessert. Nothing is more nostalgic and comforting than a warm gooey cookie and a cold glass of milk.

I don’t think we need a ton of sweets in our lives, but sweets are great during the hardest times in our lives. A little sweet treat can make the hardest day just a little better.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

And these chocolate chip cookies are the absolute best. No, seriously! The cookie part is rich and not overly sweet, and the chips are rich and bring that sweetness.

I’ve been making these for years. Whether my husband and his men are having a rough go at work, people are upset, lost loved ones, just moved into the neighborhood, or because I love them, or the holidays, these cookies have brought many smiles over the years.

Make them with your kids, make them for others, or for yourself, these delicious chocolate chip cookies are sure to please.

Ingredients Needed To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

• 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (Must be room temperature)
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 6 Tablespoons White Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 2 1/4 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Optional: 

This is my favorite way to make my cookies.

• 3/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

How To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a pan.

Step 2

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt into one bowl.

Step 3

Add a stick of room temperature butter in another bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and white sugar and beat until the butter mixture is fluffy.

Step 5

Add flour mixture in 1/2 cup at a time, do not over mix. Just mix until the flour is incorporated.

Step 6

Add the chocolate chips and fold them in, don’t overmix here either.

Step 7 

Stick them in the oven and they should be done in 12-13 minutes (if they’re larger cookies.) 8-10 minutes if they’re smaller cookies.

Step 8

Let them sit for a few minutes before eating or they’ll fall apart.

Step 9

Grab a cup of milk, coffee, tea, or scoop of ice cream and enjoy.

Optional:

I make bigger cookies and this recipe ends up with about 20 cookies. If I make smaller cookies I can make about 28-30. 

Notes:

The butter must have time to sit out and be at room temperature. Heating it up in the microwave or using melted butter still makes good cookies, but they don’t have that fluffy tollhouse quality.
