Chocolate chip cookies are a beloved treat that evokes a sense of nostalgia and comfort that transcends generations. The perfect blend of a crispy outside and a soft chewy inside combined with those melty chocolate chips creates an irresistible combination that has captivated taste buds for decades. I can remember coming home to the smell of freshly baked cookies permeating every room of my house. Chocolate chip cookies were and still very much are my mothers weakness. Now that I have children of my own, I love watching their little hands as they help me to break the eggs and pour the flour – and their faces as they eventually enjoy the final delicious result.I have made these cookies not only for my family but also on several occasions for my husband to take to work. According to my husband they are an office favorite! If you give them a try you definitely wont be disappointed!

Tips for the best Chocolate chip cookies

  • Do not skip freezing the dough for a minimum of 20 mins before baking. This is crucial to get the crispy outside.
  • Do not overmix. This can alter the texture of the cookie
  • You can double the recipe and freeze the dough in individual portions and then store in an airtight container. This will keep you prepared anytime you have a cookie emergency!

Instructions

  • 1

    Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together and set aside.

  • 2

    In your mixing bowl combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together on medium speed for about 2 mins. (make sure the butter is softened before you do this)

  • 3

    Add in the vanilla and eggs. Mix until fully incorporated.

  • 4

    Add in the flour mixture, and mix on low until just barely incorporated

  • 5

    Fold in your chocolate chips.

  • 6

    Scoop out individual dough balls and place on a tray into the freezer for at least 25 mins. Once frozen you can place in a gallon sized freezer bag if you want to store for later. This is especially nice if you want to make a larger batch to have on hand. 

  • 7

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place onto a cookie tray and bake for 10-12 mins. It may be shorter or longer depending on your oven. I would give it a peak around 9 mins. The cookies should be golden brown. Sometimes I leave them in there a little longer if I am feeling a bit more on the crispy side!

    Place on a cooling rack and enjoy!
