These sweet 'perfect' chocolate chip cookies are completely buttery, chewy, thick and chocked full of rich, semi-sweet chocolate chips!
They are a perfect chocolate chip cookie lover's dream! The recipe is simple and it's probably my all-time favorite chocolate chip recipe of all time. If you try them, you might decide this is your go-to chocolate chip cookie too! Let me know!
These Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies are so popular!

Just a few pointers before you start your perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe baking journey!
- Follow the directions to a 'T'. I read the comments on Williams Sonoma Taste and some of the issues were flat cookies and too many chocolate chips, so I did decrease the chocolate chips ¼ cup for this recipe, which are still chocked full of chocolate chips. Love Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. 🙂
- And, secondly to avoid ugly, flat cookies, be sure your butter is room temperature (not melted or even softened), and use a cooler dough vs. warm dough. Just pop it in the refrigerator a bit before baking if it feels warm.
- Chocolate Chip Tips: If you're in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 ¼ cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out. If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking. 1 ½ cups is good for those that want chocolate flavor, but not chocolate overload. 🙂

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour see notes below
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter see notes below, room temperature
- ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet. Use less chocolate chips if you want more cookie and not as much chocolate such as 1 ¼ cups to 1 ½ cups.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.. (To get best results, use parchment paper)
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together.
- In another large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars until smooth and mixed together well.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix in until just incorporated. Do not keep mixing - do not overmix.
- Add chocolate chips and stir with a wooden spoon, again no overmixing, just until incorporated.
- Chill dough if dough is warm.
- Using a small or large ice cream scoop or heaping tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 6 to 8 per pan, depending on size you are making.
- Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until the bottoms and edges are lightly browned and the tops feel firm when lightly touched,
- Small cookies bake 8-10 minutes
- Large cookies bake 10-13 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Makes 18 -30 cookies depending on size.

Notes
Flour Tips: Don't over-mix cookie batter especially after the flour is added and add it gradually.
Make sure your baking soda is not expired. Chocolate Chip Tips: If you're in chocoholic mode, go the full 2 ¼ cups of chocolate chips as the recipe calls out. If you want to tone down the chocolate chips, just use a lesser amount to your liking.

The epitome of comfort food.
China Rae says
Hello!
So I made these today and they turned out amazing! I played with the butter treatment in two different batches and both turned out great but I'd say the cookies with the more solid butter as a base turned out best. I softened the butter minutely for one batch and melted it for the other and the melted batch was good but it wasn't nearly as soft as the batch with the fluffy butter. 🙂
Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
ChocolaTess says
So glad you enjoyed them Azucena! Thank you for your kind words!
Azucena Gonzalez says
First time baking cookies and I am amazed!!! Recipe was extremely easy especially for a beginner. I’m not a sweet tooth person so I put 1 1/2 cups Of chocolate chips and still turned out good!!
ChocolaTess says
Oh thank you Jodi!! You’re so kind and I'm overjoyed with your proclaim! ??? Happy 2018 and keep on baking cookies!
Jodi says
These are seriously the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted. After having been a Toll House recipe cookie baker for 50 years (beginning as a child with my mom!) I now proclaim your Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie my new favorite go-to recipe for the next 50 years!!! Thanks so much for sharing.
ChocolaTess says
Penelope! You are so sweet and I am thrilled you made them and think they are perfect! ha! I think so too!!
Penelope says
My 2nd time ever making cookies, and they were delicious!! Thank you for the helpful hints (not overmixining/room temperature butter etc...). This really is a perfect recipe! Thank you!!
ChocolaTess says
So happy you enjoyed them Barb! 🙂 From the sounds of it, you love baking like I do! Yay! 🙂 Happy 2018!
Barb says
I am an avid cookie baker (I make 28 types at Christmas). I made these with what I had on hand - about 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips and about 3 oz. of a semi-sweet bar chopped. Using my small scoop It made 40 cookies. They were FABULOUS!!! I have a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. Thank you so much.
ChocolaTess says
Soften butter to room temperature Sheril. I usually bring all my ingredients to room temp by setting them out an hour before baking. Hope that helps and I hope you enjoy them!! Happy 2018!!
Sherilsl says
I have a quick question. I'm a little confused about the butter. Wouldn't room temperature butter be softened? Or are you meaning something else by that?
Any help would be appreciated. Can't wait to try these.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Jen! So glad you enjoyed them!!
Jen says
These chocolate chip cookies were AMAZING!!! Best recipe EVER
ChocolaTess says
I haven't tried it, but you can use ¾ cup of canola oil for every cup of butter according to what I've read. Let us know how it works out if you do! 🙂
Bakers delight says
Can I use oil instead of butter ?
ChocolaTess says
So glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for your tips you used and kind comments!
Anonymous says
This made THE best chocolate chip cookie I've ever made. I trusted the process about the butter but I always add about double the vanilla. I also chilled the dough and made my cookie stacks at least 2X as tall as they were wide to give the cookie some girth after baking. Soft in the middle and a little bit crispy just on the outer edge. I also went with the full 2 1/4 cup of chips which is basically one bag of chips. .
ChocolaTess says
Yay! I'm so glad they worked out for you Shannon!! 🙂 So sweet of you to let me know and I appreciate your feedback!! Happy 2018!
Shannon says
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been trying to figure out why my cookies are always spreading and flat. I made these today with the kids on their day off, and they are perfect and fluffy. Buttery and gooey. Yummmmy.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Jill! That means alot! 😀
ChocolaTess says
So happy you had such great success making your first batch of cookies and you used this recipe Kristi! That's awesome!! 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Awesome Anna! This is my go to, easy to make and everyone loves them! Thank you for commenting!! 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Crystal! I totally agree with you!! 3 is the minimum! hehe
Jill says
This is the best recipe I've found for chocolate chip cookies.
Chelsea says
I am 15 and I just made these for my brothers. My brothers and I were extremely happy with them and they were absolutely the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie. I love them soooo much. Super easy and quick to make. I followed all the notes and they are great. I used 2 cups of chocolate chip cookies and I used white chop chips as well (family fav), 2 cps was plenty! Taste so great, can't stop eating them. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!!
Kristi kay says
Absolutely amazing cookies. First time ever making home made cookies and they turned out fantastic. THANK YOU for the amazing recipe.
Anna Yu says
I made these 2x now. This is my go to Chocolate chip cookie recipe! Easy and full of chocolate goodness. Thank you for sharing!
Crystal says
Yummy!! Just made them. They are the ‘gotta eat at least 3 cookies’ kind of good!!!
ChocolaTess says
Yes you can use salted, just omit salt or reduce. 🙂
tara says
Excited to try these tomorrow. Do I have to use unsalted butter? Would salted work as well?
Thanks!
ChocolaTess says
Val, so happy you love this recipe! I use a hand mixer for most of the desserts I make as well, it's just easier like you said. Thank you for your kind words my dear! Happy baking!! 🙂
Val says
Pinned it! Made it! Devoured it! I’ve always wanted the best cookie recipe and according to my family I finally found it! And the fact that I was able to use a hand mixer rather than the big bulky Kitchenaide stand mixer was heavenly. Thank you soooo much! I can’t wait to make your other divine desserts. Btw, your tips such as refridgerating before baking made a HUGE difference in the outcome:)
P.S. Sorry, couldn’t take a pic of my perfect cookies because it was gone in 60 seconds:)
ChocolaTess says
What an awesome story Linda, OMGoodness and I love the wall of fame, that rocks!! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so humbled and happy everything turned out ok in the end. That had to be scary! Happy Holidays to you to my sweet friend! 🙂
Linda says
I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! Not only did it save my marriage but it saved me and my daughters life, (We were able to pay off my debt to a drug kingpin that held her hostage) but they are always a HIT at family parties, events, and even night in! This is a little embarrassing but we have a wall of fame in our hallway of each time we have made them. Whenever or family members come and walk through they occasionally pass out from sheer joy. You, Chocoletiss got me through my house burning down when, after escaping the flames, I found 12 perfectly baked cookies from your recipe. Thank you.
Happy holidays!
Love,
Linda xoxo
ChocolaTess says
Hi Sierra! Thank you for making this one a keeper and for letting me know how they turned out. You are so sweet! Happy New Year!
Sierra says
Made these cookies twice now ( with a few of my own tricks added) and they have come out perfectly both times! This is definitely my go to recipe! Beautifully thick, golden crunch in all the right places and wonderfully soft and gooey! The trick is not to over cook them!
ChocolaTess says
How sweet of you Michelle! That was so kind of you to share with friends and family and I hope you all enjoy this recipe and more! How exciting!! Happy New Year!! xo
Michelle gronefeld says
I was searching for a perfect yet simple recipe and this one is by far the best cookies I have ever eaten. I brought them for Christmas and they were gone within minutes and begged for the recipe so I ahappily shared your link. I didn’t change a thing and followed it to a T. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to try your other recipes.
ChocolaTess says
So glad you enjoyed them Cheri! Yes, modify them to your liking and definitely worth every bite. 🙂 Thank you dear!
ChocolaTess says
Absolutely Laurie! I love walnuts and chocolate together, wonderful combo!! Comin' over! 🙂
Laurie Jacobs says
I made these and they are wonderful. I cut back 1/4 cup of chocolate and there was still lots of wonderful chips in every bite. Can I cut the chocolate in half and substitute walnuts?
cheri says
This is my new favorite Chocolate Chip recipe! I followed it to a T. The only change I'll make for next time is to use a little less chips. It was such a hit that we ate them all within a couple of days. Need to up my cardio, but every bite is worth it!!!
ChocolaTess says
Please do Shabistan! I would love to hear! Happy Holidays!! 😀
Shabistan says
I was searching for best chocolate chip cookie recipes and here I am? going to bake for my little one....I hope they turn out like yours. Will let you know.
ChocolaTess says
Sounds like too much flour, are you sure you measured correctly? I have never had these come out dry..sorry Laura!
Laura says
I just tried this recipe, but my cookies are dry. I dont know what I did wrong. When I baked them, the cookies did not spread much at all but they did cook all the way through and taste good. Butter was room temp and I measured everything correctly...even chilled dough. Idk...
ChocolaTess says
You can do it Temiya! 15 - 30 depending how big you make them. Happy Holidays!! 🙂
Temiya says
These cookies look delicious. i probably won't make them as good as yours but I'll try.
P.S. How many cookies does this recipe make?
ChocolaTess says
Glad you enjoyed them Ifrah. I don't know about the oil, I've never tried it, but I usually don't make cookies with oil, it's usually always butter, but I've read where you can try substituting one-fourth or half the butter with oil. If you try it, let us know how it works out. Happy Holidays! 🙂
Ifrah says
Hello! I just made these cookies. First batch got a lil overcooked resulting in crunchy cookies instead of chewy ones. Second is in the oven right now. Hopefully I'll get them right this time. I followed the recipe to the tee. I just feel them quite sugary to my taste so I'll reduce the sugar next time. Thank you for this recipe.
P.S. please do reply to my question regarding substituting butter with oil. Thank you!
Ifrah says
Hi! I came across your recipe on pinterest and couldn't resist no matter how much I tried. So today I gathered all the ingredients and made the cookie dough. I've put the dough in refrigerator and will make them tomorrow. Just a little question here, the dough was quite hard to mix when it came to adding chocolate chips. Is it normal? I've never worked with butter before. Is this how the "butter" dough works? Also, can I replace butter with canola oil? I'm hopeful that you'll reply because I'm very new to cookie baking. TIA.
Amm says
I couldnt read through all the comments, but am i the only one eho added a 1/2 cup of oil? I thought the dough was dry while trying to mix the flour. Fyi they came out great!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Cricket! I'm so glad you enjoyed them and modified your chocolate chips to your liking. 🙂 Merry Christmas!!!
Cricket says
These cookies were so delicious but had an absurd amount of chocolate. Everyone kept saying they were far too rich and the dough barely stuck together between all of the chocolate. Luckily I was making seven batches so I was able to quickly correct the rest and the result with less chocolate chips was by far the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had or made. They were like a fancy bakery cookie. An absolute hit for Christmas. I ended up making very large cookies by using a 1/4 cup scoop for the dough balls and cooked it at 340 for around 13-15 minutes.
ChocolaTess says
I'm so sorry Pat, but I have no idea why this would be happening to you. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, maybe there was a glitch on that pin. I've never had that happen, I tried it myself and if you click the actual picture you will come to my site and if you click 'make it' then you come to my site, like everyone else's pins. I didn't have the rolling thru the comments like you did. I'm sorry, I wish I could help. Maybe reboot and try again?
Pat markum says
I am having major problem with your web site. When I get to the recipe for choc chip cookies, which I saved on Pintrist, but your site comes up with the recipe, it immediately starts rolling thru all the comments and I go back to the top to get recipe again, and once the recipe comes up, it starts rolling again. It is very maddening. It takes me forever to try and get a few ingredients at a time so I can make them. I will no longer try to save a recipe if it is going to jump to your web site.
ChocolaTess says
Yay! So happy to hear that Lucia! They are good even with a small amount of chocolate chips. Merry Christmas!!
LUCIA says
I used less chocolate chips, eye balled it. But these turned out soooo good! THank you! Thanks for the tips!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Jen! I like cookies with a little salt, makes everything taste better! I so agree! Yum on the dried cherries too! Merry Christmas dear!
Jen says
Oh my gosh! Well done! These are soooo good - sweet and rich with just the right amount of salt. The only change/addition I made was that I added 4 ounces of shopped dried cherries (not maraschino, but the type you find on the raisin aisle) and it added just a hint of tang. Thank you for upping my cookie game!!!
ChocolaTess says
Hi Kimberly! Most cookie doughs can be refrigerated, make sure they are well-wrapped, for three to five days before baking. If you want to make it farther in advance, freeze the dough for up to 3 months. 2-4 hours on the counter. 🙂
Kimberly says
How long can I keep this in the fridge before baking? and how long can I store it on the counter for?
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Ashita! 🙂
Ashita Marcon says

ChocolaTess says
I am so ecstatic everyone loved them! Thank you so much for letting me know Carolyn!! Happy Holidays and chocolate chip cookies go together! 🙂
Carolyn says
I love chocolate chip cookies and these were so easy and delicious! Followed the recipe exactly and my kids loved them!!! Better than the Toll House recipe I've been using.
Darren Roach says
These cookies were awesome! I tripled the recipe, added a large box of vanilla pudding, 3 1/2 C of choc chips, and baked at 375 for9 min after rolling the refrigerated dough into a ball and lightly pushed each ball down on the silicone sheet. Turned out great!
ChocolaTess says
Awww thank you so much KenZi! I'm so glad you tried it with the coconut palm sugar and they turned out awesome! I'm sure others will try that version because it seems to be so popular with the healthy crowd! Thank you for your tip! 😀
KenZi says
Really is an absolutely perfect recipe! I highly recommend using coconut palm sugar instead of brown sugar, it really gave them a rich and decadent taste! Thank you for the tips with the butter! xo
ChocolaTess says
Courtney, that is so sweet! That is amazing and thank you so much!
Courtney says
These cookies are absolutely perfect. This is the last chocolate chip cookie recipe I will ever need.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much for your kind comments Kassia! So glad you enjoyed them and will be making them again! 😀
Kassia Bolden says
I just made these and they're amazing. I doubled the recipe. They're so soft. I added more chips then the recipe called for as well. Will be making again.
ChocolaTess says
Wow! I am excited you will never being pre-made dough again! I love this cookie dough, it's so versatile and your cookie adaption sounds amazing! Sweet and salty is really the best for sure. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the kind words.
D says
I just made these last night and they are amazing!!! My boyfriend loved them. I used semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, and butterscotch chips and they came out so good. I also added some sea salt at the end because I wanted them sweet and salty. Such a great and easy recipe. I'm never buying pre-made dough again!
ChocolaTess says
Awww that is so sweet Sara! I'm so glad you found your way here! Thank you so much for your kind comments! Happy Thanksgiving!!
t
Sara says
I don't normally leave reviews, but I've tried a lot of different chocolate chip cookie recipes and none of them have been even okay. This one is AMAZING. I even messed it up a little and it still turned out awesome. This one will definitely be the only one I use from now on.
ChocolaTess says
Jacqui that sounds amazing with the all your substitutions and the ice cream! Oh I think I'm gonna have to do that now! LOL!!
Thanks for you comments, so sweet! 🙂
Jacqui palmer says
Best cookie recipe I’ve tried! I used Earth Balance dairy and soy free butter and EnjoyLife dairy free chocolate chips. So good! And add some So Delicious cashew milk Very Vanilla ice cream in the middle ?
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Stefani! I'm so thrilled you made them and everyone loved them!!
Stefani says
I made these cookies and took some to work and they truly are perfect! Soooo good and just the right amount of chocolate chips! Everyone who tried them loved them. Thanks!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Thayane for your kind comments! 😀 I'm so glad everyone loved them!
Thayane perlaza says
I think the word perfect is short for this recipe because it’s the best recipe I have made until now. I made for a party and everybody love it, super recommended!!
ChocolaTess says
Helcio! That is awesome! I'm so glad you liked them so much you want to sell them! 😀 Thank you so much!
Helcio Fernandes says
Best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had in my life. Thank you so much for the recipe. I am from Rio, Brazil and Im thiking of selling these. I bet no one here''s ever had such mouth-watring yummy cookies. I used saltless magerine and it just took a little longer in the oven to bake, but they came out excellent! Thanks again for this priceless recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Aww that is so sweet! Sorry you lost your original recipe, but happy you chose this one! That is awesome and thank you so much for your kind comments to use it for a long time to come. That makes my day Tori! 😀
Tori says
I helped host a bridal shower for my best friend yesterday. I couldn't find the original recipe I wanted to use, so I found yours on Pinterest (mainly b/c I had all of the ingredients). They were self- and husband-aproved, but the kicker was that the little old ladies though they were the best chocolate cookies they ever had! They wouldn't stop talking about it. One even came up to me at the end of the shower and said she went back and took two more for herself!
Definitely saving this recipe and using it for a long time to come!
ChocolaTess says
Noah, that was so sweet of you to make these cookies for your wife. What an awesome husband you are! She's a lucky woman. 🙂 I am so happy that the hints helped you out and keep on baking with your honey! I love that! So sweet! 🙂
Noah says
Made these to surprise my wife last night. They are so good! Followed recipe to the "T" as you suggested, turned out perfect. Im just an amateur in the kitchen, but I still enjoy baking as a pastime wih the wife.
ChocolaTess says
Yay Morgan! I'm so glad they worked out for you dear!! xoxo Thank you!!
Morgan says
I just made 3 dozen of these they turned out amazing! Not flat at all! Make sure you follow the steps and I did what the notes suggested too!
ChocolaTess says
Kas that is so awesome! I'm so glad you found this recipe to bring you here and you decided to give this recipe a try. For the holidays, if you like mint, use a half or whole teaspoon, I'm sure they'll be wonderful! 😀
Kas says
I'm so glad I found this recipe. Had a midnight craving for cookies but not already made cookies. I've had bad luck with a lot of chocolate chip recipes. This turned out perfectly. I didn't have vanilla extract which is strange.. somehow I have a lot of mint extract, though I wasn't brave enough to use it. These turned out exactly how I've been trying to make cookies. I'm ashamed to say how many years it took me. Perfect recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Great Ada! That is awesome! 😀 Thanks so much for commenting and sharing!
Ada says
I am making these right now. I just took first batch out and I have to say they look just like yours. I had to have one right away and have to say are the best cookies I have ever had. Thank you very much for a great recipe.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Kaholly! I'm so glad to hear that!! Makes my day! 😀
KAHOLLY says
DELICIOUS! Thank you, my new favorite!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you, my husband likes less chocolate chips as well. So it is whatever your preference is. So glad you enjoyed them Ivonne!
IvonNe says
Hi! I really liked this recipe but the only thing I would change, for my next batch, would be to use less chocolate chips. I found that the cookies had too many chocolate chips, for my taste, and I only used 2 cups instead of the 2 1/4 cups the recipe called for. I'll try 1 1/2 cups next time and see how that goes. Otherwise, the cookies are delicious and I was happy I used my Kitchaid stand mixer for it. One bowl and less to clean up, it was great!
ChocolaTess says
Great to know Stephanie! Great tips for sure! Thank you so much for those, I love using 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 whole flour, but good to know about the almond flour and other info you have provided. 😀 Happy Friday and cheers to yummy cookies!
Stephanie says
These came out SO GOOD. I used 1.25 c whole wheat flower, and 0.25 c almond meal, and dark brown sugar. I also used 1 cup Guittard milk chocolate and 1 cup Guittard dark chocolate chips! A great combo. After making the dough i left it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Needed about 14 minutes to cook with big cookies. I made 17 total. As a warning, if you use dark brown sugar and whole wheat flower its more difficult to see the edges browning so make sure to cook an eye on them! I overcooked the first batch by about a minute thirty.
Really great recipe: nice, thick, chewy cookies with just enough chocolate (a lot!)..
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Hannah! 🙂 I'm so glad you enjoyed them and thank you for commenting!
Hannah says
I'm not sure how many cookie recipes claim to be the most "perfect," but I promise this one is the real deal. Follow the instructions to a T. It is seriously a science to make the "perfect" cookies, lol. They are AMAZING. Hands down the BEST chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Again as the recipe says...ROOM TEMP BUTTER AND CHILLING THE DOUGH IS CRUCIAL. They do not come out the same without!
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Catherine! They are almost fool-proof! 😀
ChocolaTess says
Aww..thank you Kayla! I'm happy to hear this is your go to recipe!! Yay!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Toni! I loveeeee this recipe!!!
Kayla says
I made these cookies last night and they are the BEST cookies I have ever made. They turned out just perfect crunchy edge with a chewy middle and were not flat. Thank you for the tips, they really helped! This will now be a regular recipe in my house!
TLarsen7 says
So dang good. Have used this recipe multiple times now. Thank you!
Midnight says
Hello! This was the first recipe I've ever tried and it turned out delicious! This recipe is the best! 😀
ChocolaTess says
That is so awesome Mary Ellen! I"m so glad you loved it! I'm going to be publishing a new sheet pan recipe for peanut butter lovers! Stay tuned and thank you so much for letting me know!
Mary Ellen Kenny says
First off...I don't think there is such a thing as "too many chocolate chips"! I made these and they were awesome! I also forwarded the recipe to my daughter (fairly new baker who has suffered some chocolate chip cookie disasters) and they came out perfect for her also! She was so happy!! Thanks for an awesome go-to recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome Gemma! Thank you so much for commenting and being so kind! 😀
Gemma says
Yes! I've finally found a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that are exactly like I like them. I love how they stay puffy instead of spreading, and are SO full of chips. I followed the instructions to the letter, and mine look just like yours. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you for sharing Christie! I know there are lots of people with egg allergies or gluten free and substitutes seem to work great in these cookies! Have a wonderful weekend!
Christie says
These cookies are delicious! My son is egg allergic, so I used an egg substitute (water/oil/baking powder), and they still came out perfectly. I also only used about half of the chocolate chips. Still delicious!
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Yael! Thank you for sharing the frozen ice cream cookie idea! Yum!!
Yael says
These cookies are amazing. I had to freeze them so I wouldn't eat them all myself but even frozen they're great! Put a little vanilla ice cream between two of them and they're divine! We will definitely be making these again in the near future.
ChocolaTess says
That is awesome Jacob! I'm so happy everyone loves them and they are pretty easy to make!! Thank you so much for commenting!
JacobP says
These cookies are amazing. My family absolutely loves them and wants me to cook them every time.e I have the chance. Made some last night and had to bring some to work. Can't get enough of them.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you for commenting Angelia! I'm so glad you loved them! <3
Angelia says
These amazing cookies could be sold! I took some next door and family finished these overnight. Amazing. Thank you!
ChocolaTess says
Awww thank you so much for commenting Jessica! xoxo
Jessica says
This recipe is seriously the BEST! My cookies always turned out flat, but these were so plump and perfect!
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
ChocolaTess says
You are very welcome Jamaica! 😀
ChocolaTess says
Wow! It sounds delicious with your changes Hattie! So glad you could modify it to your liking! 🙂
Jamaica says
Thank you for the tips?
Jamaica says
Thank you for the tips, it really worked out.
Hattie says
Best cookie ive ever had! Seriously!
I Made quite a bit of changes though.
I added 1 1/2 Tbl spoon of powdered milk. (I read it makes the cookies chewy) I subbed half the white sugar with powdered stevia.
Added 1 Tbl of molasses.
Added 1/2 tsp of maple extract
Subbed 1/2 cup of the flour with toasted oats.
I used white whole wheat flour instead all purpose flour.
I also browned half of the butter.
For choco chips I used white choco chip,
Semi sweet choco chip and crushed Cadbury milk chocolate eggs.
I refrigerated the dough for 24 hours.
Baked at 380.
Made 4 LARGE cookies.
They where ooy-good in the center and crispy around the edges. Absolutely DELIGHTFUL!
With my adjustments THIS IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Isabella!! I'm so glad you are enjoying them!
Isabella Rose says
They are delish!! Thank you so much for the amazing recipes!
Isabella Rose says
The recipe was amazing! They turned out great. Thx!!
ChocolaTess says
Hi Liz, it should be a little doughy but scoopable. As long as you didn't overmix and you measured correctly you should be fine. Try it and see how it goes and let me know. 😀
Liz says
Hi! I'm no Betty Crocker! And every time I bake cookies from scratch they turn out too fluffy and I swear I'm reading word for word on the directions. So I came across your recipe and again I followed word for word. But after mixing the flour in, and tossed in the chocolate chips, I feel like the dough looked too doughy, like sorta sticky, does that make sense? I have the dough sitting in fridge to chill like your tip says. But I'm scared they will come out fluffy again.. any tips?
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Nichole! 🙂 That is so sweet!
ChocolaTess says
Awwww, thank you so much Sarah for your comment! I'm so happy you love them too! They are my fave!
Nichole says
These are seriously the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made in my life. The best! Follow instructions to a T and you will get the BEST cookies EVER!
Sarah says
These are actually THE BEST chocolate chip cookies! I have made them many times, but the first time I made them I overcooked them because I thought they didn't look done enough at 8 minutes. The second time I made them I took them out right at 8 minutes, which was absolutely perfect and how I cook them every time! The shorter you cook them the better!:)
ChocolaTess says
I'm so proud of you for trying it and wanting to give it a go again!! You can do it Chacha! Thank you so much for letting me know your experience!
Chacha says
Total rookie with anything made from scratch. I usually just take and bake. About to make my 2nd attempt with these. Used too floor last time and basically made muffin cookies. They were good though and everyone gobbled them up. Hopefully I get it right this time. Love the recipe though, thanks! ?
ChocolaTess says
So glad you enjoyed them Kitrina!!!! 😀
kitrina says
These cookies turned out perfectly. What a great recipe. I highly recommend it!
ChocolaTess says
15 to 30 depending how large or small you make them Sofia.
Sofia says
How many cookies does this recipe make? Thank you. 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Hi Jackie, they are different, room temp is where you can press you fingertip into the butter but your finger doesn't slide through. Softened butter you would be able to do that. Hope that helps? You need to make these!! 😀
Jackie says
Hi
I thought room temp butter was softened butter.
ChocolaTess says
Hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for stopping by!!
EmcLemm says
Can't wait to try. August 4th is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Love that you shared other ideas too!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Julie for your kind words! I'm so glad you loved them!!
Julie says
YES! You're not kidding when you say the perfect chocolate chip cookies, these are absolutely wonderful. My family could not get enough of them. Definitely will be my ONLY chocolate chip cookie recipe. I used dark chocolate chips... so yummy!
ChocolaTess says
Yay! Good to know especially for those that don't have baking soda! Thank you Tess for commenting, that means so much!! Have a wonderful day!!
Tess says
Perfection!! So yummy and they are beautiful! I didn't have baking soda so I did a little research on Google and said I could use baking powder just triple the amount I wanted to try these cookies so desperately I use baking powder 3 teaspoons and they turned out magnificently. Oh and I had some white chips left over from another project so I tossed those in. This is now my only chocolate chip cookie recipe! Thank you thank you thank you!!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome!!
Anonymous says
These came out great.
I used 1.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and .75 cups milk chocolate chips.
Yum yum
ChocolaTess says
These are definitely blue ribbon worthy like yours! 🙂 Thank you so much for commenting Jane! 🙂
Jane says
The perfect cookie. This is just like a recepie my mother had and I won a blue ribbon at the fair in 1982, for these. The only thing I do different is instead of 1 tsp b soda. I use 1/2 tsp b soda and mix with 1/2 tsp of b powder. Excellent!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you for your kind comments Berlin! I agree! 🙂 This recipe rocks!
Berlin P, says
BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever made. And believe me, I've experimented with everything from cookbook recipes to the back of chocolate chip bags. Soft, chewy, buttery, 5-star taste. I used 62% cacao chunks and cut them down to one cup and the cookies were PERFECT. Thanks so much for sharing!

Awesome TJ! That's great to hear!!
TJ says
This turned out perfectly! I've tried a lot of recipes, and even with my fickle oven they turned out great!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Kelly! I love it too! I'm so happy how it turned out!
Kelly @ Kelly Lynns Sweets and Treats says
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your video! So awesome!! Xoxo. 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Hope! That makes my day! 🙂 Happy weekend!
Hope says
These were outstanding cookies! The directions were concise and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your recipe. These are definitely a keeper!
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad Domonique!! Yay! Thank you for your kind words!! <3
Domonique says
These are so good! They taste like my old cafeteria chocolate chip cookies from high school! I will be making these forever now!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome! Your helpful modifications will definitely be handy for anyone that is looking for an allergy-free alternative for these chocolate chip cookies. Thank you so much for sharing Heather!! I appreciate that so much and no guesswork for others! 🙂 SA-Weet!
Heather says
I made these cookies today, only replacing ingredients with allergy safe ones. They turned out amazing!!!! I used a rice flour blend for the flour, dairy free butter, dairy free chocolate chips, and flax seed for the egg. Not all cookie recipes turn out when changing ingredients to allergy safe ones, or may not taste as good, but these were AMAZING!!! Thought I would share for others who may have to use replacement ingredients due to allergies.
ChocolaTess says
Hi Jane! Thank you for sharing your experience and your substitutions for others if they get in a pinch. I like your idea of cinnamon and raisin too! So yummy!!
Jane says
I almost didn't make these only because the first half of the comments were...must try, look so good, need to make these, etc etc etc. It wasn't til I got about half way through that I actually found reviews from people that had bothered to try it before commenting....sorry but that is a HUGE pet peeve of mine! I used half butter and half margarine only because I didn't have enough of either. I doubled the batch easily! And since I didn't have anywhere close to the amount of chocolate chips in the house for a spur of the moment baking day I used a pack of mini M&M's that I bought for Christmas baking and never used. I got 52 average size cookies and they were perfect at 10 minute baking time. These are VERY good cookies and I'm sure I will make them again! Maybe next time I'll toss in some cinnamon and raisins to switch it up a bit too lol
ChocolaTess says
Hi Erin! Yes you can, but allow a couple more minutes for baking, if the dough is refrigerated. 🙂 I'm sure the teachers will love them!!
Erin says
Hello, this recipe looks awesome! I'm planning to double the recipe and make them for Teacher Appreciation week this week. Can I make the dough ahead and let it chill overnight? Thanks in advance for the info!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome Jessica!! I love hearing that! 🙂 Thanks for letting me know!
Jessica says
Made a double batch tonight. Came out wonderfully. Kids loved them.
I think I'll make this my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. So good!
Thank you!
ChocolaTess says
So great to hear Tammy! Glad you enjoyed them!
Tammy says

ChocolaTess says
Ikr Ashley! Thanks for sharing!
Ashley says
The BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever made/tasted! Simple to make too!
ChocolaTess says
Wow! New oven and perfect chocolate chip cookies? OHHHH YEAHHHH! You slayed it Danesa! That's great to know, thank you! xoxo
Danesa says
I just pulled these out of the oven, a new oven that I'm still figuring out. As I was preheating I prayed to the gods of chocolate and baked goods that they would deem me worthy and not condemn my offering to the pit of burned morsels.
The gods saw fit to smile upon me and I have to say these are some pretty dang amazing cookies! Thanks for sharing!
ChocolaTess says
Gena that is awesome to hear! So glad you are enjoying the recipe. 🙂
Gena says
Made a batch of these a few days ago for my family , the batch made almost 40 cookies and they ate them ALL that night. Hands down best chocolate chip cookies i have ever made. Im baking some right now! Thanx
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad Ching!
Ching says
Thank you! I'm not a baker and made this with my son and we loved. Yes, do NOT over bake this cookies. I did due to my oven, but it was still GOOD.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Carol! 🙂 Thank you for stopping by and I'm so glad you enjoyed them!!
Carol says
Just made these and they turned out wonderful.... This recipe is a keeper. Follow the directions!!!!!
ChocolaTess says
Sweet! Thank you for letting me know Janice! <3 Walnuts and chocolate in cookies are da bomb!
Janice says
Made these today. Doubled the batch added walnuts, they are amazing! My new favourite recipe! Thankyou!
ChocolaTess says
Omg Kristin, maybe we should not tell Aunt Vicki!? 🙂 Thank you for trying them and commenting! <3
Kristin says
The only chocolate chip cookie recipe I ever use is one my Aunt Vicki gave me years and years ago, it is the absolute best choc. chip cookie I have ever had. Until today. I mean, these cookies are something out of a dream. Sorry, Aunt Vicki. :p
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Marci! I'm so glad you stopped by to comment, that was so sweet of you! <3
Marci says
These cookies are amazing! Probably the best I've ever made. I thought they might bring dry and crumbly when I first scooped them out, but the texture is just the right amount of moist on the inside! I'm definitely saving this recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Hi Mom and Chelsea and Caleb!<3 These cookies do not last long, that is for sure! So glad you are enjoying them! 🙂
Mom of chelsea and caleb says
Hi ChocolaTess! Thanks for this recipe, my family loves it as it was just right for our taste, good as it was not that's sweet. We liked how it was a good blend of crunch on the first bite but still very gooey for the kids and adults to enjoy. I just have to cook my two batches for about 14 minutes, made about 20 medium sized cookies. I bet this would just last a day in our house. Thanks again!
ChocolaTess says
Anne, I'm so glad you all love them! That's awesome! 🙂 Happy New Year!
anne says
I made this twice so far and my family loves it. This only last a day. My husband gets home from work at midnight and he cant resist not to snatch before going to bed lol.
ChocolaTess says
Aida, I'm so pleased that they turned out so well and your flavor combinations sound wonderful for the holidays!!! I am going to have to try that one! Merry Christmas to you! 🙂
Aida says
I used this recipe and added cinnamon, all spice, and nutmeg for extra flavor and added 2 more teaspoons of vanilla and it really amped it up!! Thank you for the wonderful recipe it turned out amazing!
ChocolaTess says
Here Joanna, it's at the bottom of the page where it says click for recipe, but here is the link: http://www.thebakingchocolatess.com/perfect-chocolate-chip-cookies/2/
Joanna says
where is the recipe? been searching page for 10min and see nothing.
ChocolaTess says
Hi Jessica, thank you for the feedback! I'm so glad they were amazing!!!! 🙂
Jessica says
I just made these and they are AMAZING! They look exactly like the picture. Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, PERFECT! The only thing i did differently was was 2 cups of chips and I refrigerated the dough for 4 hours. Thanks for the recipe!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome Modee! I'm so glad they worked out for you. I actually do have muffins on the blog @ http://www.thebakingchocolatess.com/the-sweet-stuff/muffins-breads/. There are all kinds of sweets in the navigation bar under 'sweet stuff'. Great job!! You'll be baking all kinds of goodies now!
Modee says
Hello, I am 13 and I baked this cake for my family and they were very impressed and it tasted AMAZING!! How do you know how to make an amazing cookie? because it sure was... I would love to know how to bake muffins... Maybe you should try that!
ChocolaTess says
Awesome! 🙂
toni says
i just made these. they came out perfect. Except i may use less soda next time as I could taste it in the finished product
ChocolaTess says
Awesome Dmarie! 🙂
Dmarie says
FINALLY, I found a great chocolate chip recipie...this is definitely the one!
THANKS!!!
ChocolaTess says
I would think you could, they might be a little puffier, since the recipe does not use baking powder. Yes you could leave the chocolate chips out. 🙂 Hope you enjoy Willians!
Willians says
Can I use self rising flour And what if I wanted no chocolate chips would I follow the same recipe ?
ChocolaTess says
Danah, if grandma approves, that says alot! 🙂 LOL! Thank you for sharing your story and I'm so glad you liked the tips and they turned out so "Perfect". Keep on baking!
Danah says
These are honestly THE BEST cookies I've ever made in my life! Your tips for chilling the dough and having the butter at room temperature changed everything. They are so perfectly soft on the inside and golden on the outside. Even brought them over to my boyfriend's grandma's for dinner and she even approved! Thanks for sharing (:
ChocolaTess says
Kristin, I definitely feel your pain.I do the same! (Besides eating twice as many as I should.) 🙂
Kristin says
This is my go-to cookie recipe! I have so many compliments on them. Only complaint.... they are gone as soon as I make them! I usually have to double this recipe. 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Kenia! Happy Dance! 😀 I'm so glad you loved them!
Kenia says
I just made these cookies and I love them!!! Thank you for the recipe.?
ChocolaTess says
Click on the 'Click Here' button at the end of the page Virginia 😉
Virginia says
I am anxious to try them, but I need the recipe
ChocolaTess says
Hi Cat! Your oven should be pre-heated at 350 degrees before you start baking. Turning the oven up or down? I'm not sure what you mean, but if you are talking about a dial, it's usually turned right or if it's digital you would go up until you reached 350. I hope that helps? If not, let me know further what you need ok? 🙂
Cat says
Hi! I have a quick question, at what temperature do I put on the oven? And do I turn the oven on from up and down? or just down? or just up? XD I have an electric oven so I suffer a little when baking.. So if you can help that'll be great
Leslie says
Unsalted butter will make cookies flat... I made chocolate chip cookies over the holidays.... one recipe I used regular soft stick butter and second time I did unsalted butter... one batch was fluffy.. and the unsalted ones came out flat... did the unsalted ones because my husband recently had a heart attack..
ChocolaTess says
Teresa that is so wonderful to hear. You are so sweet! Thank so much for letting me know and spreading the cheer. 🙂 Happy Baking!
Teresa says
I just thought I'd let you know that I've made these 3 times now and they're the best I've ever had. My husband has begged me not to misplace this recipe as I've been known to do at times. I'm baking a big batch to take to work tomorrow. I thought I'd spread the cheer.
Thank you.
Teresa
ChocolaTess says
Sweet Sherreen! 🙂 I think it's great you made that one exception! Brilliant!! 🙂
Sherreen says
I'm about to make these for the second time, I followed the recipie to the tee, with one exception, I used the whole bag of chips.. And OMG, it was delicious! This is by far my favorite recipie for chocolate chip cookies!
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Sherri!!! I am so happy to hear that! 🙂
Sherri says
These cookies are life changing. My boyfriend and a friend absolutely love them. Thank you so much for sharing!
Amy says
As yummy as the cookies probably are, this post was far too long. The multiple page clicks were totally unnecessary. I know it's your job, and you're trying to make money. I totally get that. But, for the average busy mom with littles, we just don't have time for that. Not for a cookie recipe. Cookies look delish, pictures were stunning! Just giving my 2c on the page click thing.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Eden! Gooey is always good in my book! Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you enjoy!
ChocolaTess says
Hi Susan, love that idea. I'm sure it's possible. Maybe just switch out like a 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup of old-fashioned oatmeal with the the same measurements of flour? I would love to know how they turn out! 🙂
EDEN PASSANTE says
THESE LOOK SO GOOEY AND DELICIOUS! JUST HOW I LIKE THEM!! MUST MAKE THESE ASAP!
Susan says
Can I somehow add oatmeal into these?? I think that would be even better than they already are! Just not sure how to do that? Decrease flour? Thanks!!
Susan
ChocolaTess says
Amanda I'm soooo so glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for passing the recipe on! That was so sweet of you! 🙂
Amanda says
I used your recipe here for chocolate chips the other day for my niece's birthday party. I'm very picky about my cookies and have been on a search for the perfect recipe for a while now. I needed to make these on the fly and am so glad I came across your recipe. I chose it because of how loaded with chocolate chips they were. While it isn't what I've been searching for exactly in a chocolate chip cookie (I've actually been trying to find one like my great aunt used to make when I was a little girl), these were truly amazing!! Hands-down the best recipe I've come across yet! I wasn't aware of chilling dough and the butter being at room temperature, so the fact that you put those little helpful hints up there I feel like made a huge impact. Literally everyone at the party LOVE these cookies and I already shared your recipe with many of them because they wouldn't let me go without it. The only thing I had to do was bake them 17-20 minutes because they were quite large, but I still got about 18 cookies from each batch. I loved the size, texture, chewiness and richness of each one. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
ChocolaTess says
Go Christy!! I'm soooo happy you made them and loved them! 🙂 Awesome!!!
christy says
I'm 15 years old and i made these last night they were absolutely amazing, if not the best chocolate chip cookie i have ever had.
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Diane!! I'm so glad you loved them!!
Diane says
OMG... I just made these cookies and they are absolutely AMAZING!!!
Anonymous says
Wow! Amazing... I don't ever write reviews or comments but this recipe deserves a comment! Probably best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had.. Followed the recipe to a T and came out perfect!!
ChocolaTess says
Hon3Y! WootWoot! Awesome!! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
H0N3y says
Made them last night with my boys and they came amazingly delicious!!
ChocolaTess says
So sorry! Maybe if you clear your browser?

I'm leaving a comment because your page has so many ads its making it hard to load anything.
ChocolaTess says
Awesome! So glad you all loved them Lorrie Kay! 🙂
lOrrie Kay says
Thank you for a great recipe! I made these last night and my family just loved them. I look forward to making them again!
ChocolaTess says
Not sure if you overbaked or added too much flour?
aj says
Hi when I tried the recipe the dough came out dry...not sure what I missed.
ChocolaTess says
Barb, Are you letting these cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them? They will fall apart if you don't...Hope that helps?
Barbara Forry says
They look fabulous, but every time I have used the Ghiradelli chocolate my cookies always fall apart when I go to take them off the cookie sheets, Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks!
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Sarah. 🙂
Sarah says
Oh my! These are so good! My new go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. Thanks!
ChocolaTess says
Lydia, I am not familiar with high altitude baking. 🙁 I'm sure you could google it and see if baking chocolate chip cookiess at high altitude needs adjusting. Sorry and good luck dear!
LYDIA says
Do these need to adapted for high altitude? Like Utah?
ChocolaTess says
Glad you enjoyed them Nikki! 🙂
Nikki says
I cooked these for 10 minutes and after cooling they where a little crunchy. Next time i will check after 6 minutes. The taste is good.
ChocolaTess says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Sue! 🙂
Kayla says
I just made these last night and they were absolutely perfect. This morning I ate one had had been left out and it was still really squishy and sweet and just delicious haha the only thing I changed was that I browned the butter and I chilled the dough for multiple hours
Sue says
Hi!
Thanks for the recipe!
Made half of the amount and still got 16 quite big cookies, but it took over 20 minutes before they even started to feel firm when lightly touched. I never know when I should get these cookies out of the oven because this time I waited too long and they're now crisp, but they do taste really good 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Thank you Sindhiya! I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Sindhiya says
These cookies look amazing!!! I don't know which one is pulling me harder, the meting gooey chocolate chips or the wonderful golden brown colour or the thickness of the cookie..... I can hardly wait to get these done 🙂
ChocolaTess says
Kerry,
Margarine has greater shortening power than butter, containing milk solids. You can substitute margarine for butter but the cookies will probably run all over the place from what I've learned. If you try it and it works, let us all know! Good luck! 🙂
Kerry says
Are you able to use margarine instead of butter?
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much SaschaA! I'm so glad you liked them.
SachaA says
These were so yummy
ChocolaTess says
Thank you so much Claudia! 🙂
Claudia | The Brick Kitchen says
Gorgeous cookies! Loving all of that gooey chocolate - they look epic! 🙂
stephen says
i did not have vanila extract but it still worked out great
ChocolaTess says
Hi Amanda! I think you could. I would make the cookie dough doesn't get too warm setting out, or the cookies won't set up. Hope you love them! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Amanda says
Hi,
Can the recipe be easily doubled or tripled?
ChocolaTess says
So happy to hear that Stephanie! 🙂 Awesome!
Stephanie says
These cookies were the best I have made yet! The lasted about 2 minutes...perfect texture!!!!!
ChocolaTess says
Margaret, I agree! Chocolate chip cookies are classic! Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you try them!
Margaret says
You can never have too many chocolate chip cookies. I might have to go make some now. Thanks :).
ChocolaTess says
Amanda, thanks so much for stopping by and pinning! 🙂 They are beautiful and perfect! 🙂 Hope you enjoy!
ChocolaTess says
Ariel, I couldn't agree more. Cookies rule! I hope you love them! 🙂
Amanda @ The Anti Mom Blog says
these look unreal! definitely need to whip up a batch of these guys!! pinning!
Ariel says
This recipe looks so delicious, I can't wait to test it out! You can never have too many cookie recipes under your belt, especially if they're solid go-to's! I'm always looking for ones loaded with chocolate chips, (the best kind obviously). I don't think a lot of people realize how much of a difference letting your dough chill and not over mixing help improve your cookies! TOTALLY worth it! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
ChocolaTess says
Jennifer, this is hands-down my favorite chocolate chip cookie right now. Of course I'll keep making more kinds, always because I love trying new recipes and tweaking! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you make them! 🙂 Happy Friday!
ChocolaTess says
Thanks Teresa, they are that for sure 🙂
Jennifer Tammy says
These look amazing... and I need them today!
