I have had a lot of folks ask me lately if I have a good
Chocolate Chip recipe.
The truth is….I have about 5!
They are all great for different reasons.
This is the recipe I use the most.
I love the buttery and rich flavor of the cookie.
They also turn out super soft on the inside.
Love them.
Love Cookies.
Pretty much my favorite thing to bake….there is really nothing quite like a hot cookie out of the oven, now is there?
Pure heaven.
This Chocolate Chip recipe was passed onto me by my dear mother in law. She has been making them for years, and so have I.
She usually adds one bag of semi sweet chocolate chips and one bag milk chocolate chips.
I like to make them with 2 bags of Guittard Chocolate Chips.
These particular chocolate chips are larger than most and have such a smooth, sweet flavor.
They are exceptional!
Which is what you will be with these cookies in tow.
Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C butter, softened
- 1 1/2 C sugar
- 1 1/2 C brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 t salt
- 2 t baking soda
- 1 t baking powder
- 2 t vanilla
- 5 C flour
- 2 bags Guittard Milk Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Cream butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla together for about 3 minutes. You want the mixture to be well incorporated.
- In a separate medium sized bowl mix the dry ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed ingredients and mix until all the flour is incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Roll into balls and place on a cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. Do not over bake. You'll want to take the cookies out of the oven when they start to crack, then let them stay on the hot cookie sheet to continue cooking for about 5 minutes. (I have a convection oven and bake them at 325 for 6 1/2 minutes.)
- Enjoy!
Sadly, it's very hard to find a chocolate chip cookie that isn't incredibly delicious. This one certainly seems to live up to that reputation!!

Oh my goodness those look good! I wish I could take a bite out of one to see the inside! I bet it's chocolatey with 2 bags of chips. Yum! I just need a couple of those and a big glass of milk (fat-free of course) and I'll be a happy woman! I guess I will have to go make them! Thanks for sharing!!
Ok So i make cookies for my husband who loves loves loves them and he alwasy says he is looking for something more. So i showed him a picture of these and he said that is what hs is talking about. So thanks for the post and hopefully they will be the one he is looking for. They look sensational.
It must be chocolate chip cookie season… these look decadent. The word “soft” always brings me right in… Great photos Jami!
They look great!
Maranda, 2 bags is actually the normal amount for this recipe, which is double the recipes you usually see for chocolate chip cookies :). Now that's how to make cookies!
I will have to try this recipe. I LOVE CCCs. They are my favorite. I found a recipe online and so far, they are the best ones. I will bake these and see how they stack up against my other recipe.
These look amazing I definitely have to try it! But one quick question, you really think that milk chocolate is better than semi sweet in CCC?? I tried girardelli milk chocolate once in my own cookie recipe and wished I had went with semi sweet..
Pooja,
It really depends on what kind of mood I'm in…semi sweet or milk chocolate. The milk chocolate in these is super creamy and sweet, it goes great with the buttery dough. However sometimes a like more of a bite and so I add 1 package of milk, and one of semi sweet. The cookies are great which ever way you go. Good luck! Hope they turn out well.
