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!
We tried these out, and loved them! I've always used the Toll House recipe on the back of the bag, but I think I like these better! I used Ghirardelli milk chocoate chips.
Found this on Pinterest.
I will attempt to try this out. For the baking flour…is it 1 Tablespoon? or is it one cup? I'm sorry, i'm new at this.

^ that was my comment right above. I read it incorrectly. So please disregard my question. Sorry about that!
Just have to tell you I'm making these for my family for the 2nd time. I'm using Nestle's Milk Chocolate and only 1 bag but let me tell you these are by far so much better than any other chocolate chip cookie I've had. I've even made your Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies. Delicious – even better after a few days. Just found your blog a few months ago and love everything so far.
I'm sure this is a novice question, but do you use your electric mixer to mix in the flour? We have a disagreement about this at our house ๐
Anonymous,
That's not a silly question at all. If you have a stand mixer, such as a Kitchen Aid or a Bosch mixer you can use it to mix in the flour. If you are using a hand held mixer, the motor isn't powerful enough to mix in the flour and you'll burn your mixer out faster if you try to mix flour into cookie dough with it. (Personal experience here.) ๐
Good luck!

I made the cookies tonight.. they didn’t seem to cook all the way. The first pan I didn’t roll into balls- but scooped… worked much better in balls. Are they supposed to be pretty soft inside and on the bottom?
Leah,
I like to roll mine into balls as well, they seems to cook a better. If they are a too soft for you, you may want to try and cook them just a bit longer.
Good luck!

These cookies are my family’s all time favorite! We like to make this big batch and refrigerate or divide and freeze the cookie dough. We also use one bag milk chocolate chips and one bag white chocolate chips. Every time we bake them up my husband can’t stop complimenting! ๐ They are also the BEST for cookies and ice cream. YUM!
