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!
Every cookie I try turns out flat. What do you suggest doing? My husband says “add more flour”. They always taste fine but look thin. Any suggestions?
Humphrey Family,
Sometimes (in the summer especially) if my butter gets too soft, it can make the cookies flat. You can add a bit more flour (about 1/4 C) to help this. Also, if you have a pizza stone or other stone bake-ware, that can help in getting the cookies to not flatten out so much.
Good Luck. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks!! I will give it a try.
I've always thought that my Nana's chocolate chip cookie recipe was the best in the world. That was until I made these! They blow hers out of the water. They are my new choc chip cookie recipe. AMAZING!
Hi Jamie! I saw these on your blog and I just had to make them immediately. My daughter helped me tonight and they are amazing! I like how it makes tons of cookies so I can send some to work with my husband too. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your blog-great recipes and the pictures always look sooooo scrumptious.
I just made these for the first time and I can honestly tell you, these are the first Choc chip cookies I've ever made without messing something up! They came out wonderful! Thanks so much for giving me a new go-to cookie recipe!
I made these last week and they are fantabulous!! Perfect texture.. not all flat and yucky like most other recipes.Definitely my new go to recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies!! Thank you (and Grandma too…lol)
I just baked these for my son (a 22 month connoisseur of chocolate chip cookies)! OMG! The were the best we have made yet!!
Very good recipe! I quartered the recipe and it made the perfect amount- one cookie sheet full. For better results chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator about an hour before baking. This will ensure that the cookie dough doesn't spread when you bake them. Delicious texture and taste! Thank you!
The best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
