The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe…Ever
This recipe is, hands down, the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. They are kind of soft, kind of chewy, full of chocolate chips, and DELICIOUS. There has NEVER been a time I have taken these cookies to someone that they haven’t said “Oh my god, that is the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted!!” Forget the recipe on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse bag – try the ratios of this one instead!

Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (226 g) butter, room temperature (you can use salted or unsalted, to your preference)
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup (124 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup (135 g) brown sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups (330 g)all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 (12 oz) bag semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookies sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy. This is going to take you AT LEAST 5 minutes. Just let the mixer run!
- When butter and sugar is creamed together well, add eggs and vanilla and mix until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Then add to the wet ingredients. Beat until combined. Add in chocolate chips.
- On prepared cookie sheets, use a #40 (2 TBS) cookie scoop to scoop out dough and place balls on cookie sheet. I usually cook a dozen at a time and keep them about 1.5 – 2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven 8 – 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Don’t leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for longer than 1 minute before removing to a cooling rack.
