Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? After all, adding chocolate chips truly is one of the best ways to make cookies. I’m sure a lot of you have some great ways to make chocolate chip cookies, but if you don’t or would just like to try something different – here is my way. Like most of the recipes I post on this blog, these are really easy to make and will only take a few minutes to get into the oven. I made tons of these things just yesterday and they are almost gone already! They came out so moist and flavorful. I think that adding both vanilla and almond extract added a great deal to the flavor of the cookies. If you’re not a big fan of chocolate, you could add butterscotch chips instead. Enjoy.
Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Scale
- 2 ¼ cups of all purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar

- A ¼ cup of sugar

now just wait a hot second. there are people who don’t like chocolate? i shudder to think. 🙂
your cookies look perfect to me–ideal thickness, proper proportion of chips, nice browning. good work!
Another great recipe Bob that we make all the time!!! I am still waiting for a piece of that cheesecake though.
holy smokes!! what a cookie. it’s massive 🙂 i’ve been seeing lots of people put pudding mix in their cookie batter. seems like the results are gorgeous. i should try, even if i don’t like package mixes.
awesome…i’d eat a whole tray of that with a jug of milk anyday

Happy Cook – I know they are delicious! Thanks for the compliments. I have many good recipes on here and there’s many more to come.
I have a real weakness for chocolate chip cookies (in fact, I just made some myself this weekend as well!) and these drew me in on first sight. I’ve never tried pudding mix but I like a softer cookie with a lot of vanilla flavor, so I’m sure I’d really like it.
I’ve tried a recipe similar, and these are delicious!
Based on looks…those cookies are definitely contenders for “the best chocolate chip cookies” – thanks for the photos!
Oh my god, they look so great – i can’t stop licking my mouth area 😉 Have you thought about writing a book? You have soooo many lovely recipies and I’m probably one of the few who don’t have a printer – I would buy the book 🙂 Good work !
Yum. Baking cookies with pudding mix is one of my favorites. Yours make me want to go grab a huge glass of milk – they look amazing!!
PanniniKathy – The pudding mix is a really good way to make them I feel. You should give it a try sometime!
Kristen – Yes, they are amazing.
Hillary – haha, I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. Thanks!
viktorherremode – I actually don’t have a printer either 🙁 I may write a book in the future – only time will tell :). Thanks for the compliments on my blog.
sharon – thanks, the pudding mix rocks in cookies!
These look soooo good!
Those cookies look so good!
is the texture of the cookie crispy?
My Sweet & Saucy – Thanks, they turned out really good!
Kevin – Thanks, I think I’m going to make another batch.
Sharmi – The texture is a little softer.
This is my new go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. We can’t get enough of them at my house!! Love your blog.
EAT! – Thanks for the compliments. I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies!
@Grace, I went to elementary school with a girl who didn’t like chocolate… or cake!
These cookies look delicious. Much better than my way of making chocolate chip cookies (pre-made!)
Stefanie – they are great, you should give them a try instead of the pre-made ones! 😀
Omg! I just saw this pop up on Tastespotting.com. I must have one! Now!
I made these cookies and took them to a family cookout over the 4th of July holiday. While I still like the Nestle recipe better, these cookies are VERY good. What I like the most is that that stayed soft. I swear after I put the plate of cookies out they were gone in 1 minute flat.
JaySpice – I am glad you enjoyed the cookies. Many more great recipes to come!
The photos of these cookies are enough to make me hungry. I’m glad that it’s nearly time for dinner here in the UK! The exciting thing for me is that I can get most of these ingredients Organic and I’m always looking for simple recipes to cook because the organic choice here is not great. Thanks, Dan
wow those cookies are lookin fabulous
Saying you don’t like chocolate is like saying you don’t like puppy dogs, or sunshine. I am biased though, I have a chocolate chip cookie addiction.
hummmm.. they look Georgous i migt have a go at making them myself i mite just make a whole big one 😀 looking forward to making my own 😛
Great recipe, cookies were moist and very good. I subsitue Splenda brown sugar and would cut the chips to 1 cup, but very good.
These cookies do not only look good, they taste like…AWESOME!
Thnx for postig this:)
I got pulled into a chocolate chip cooking competition with my girlfriend’s mom. I don’t bake sweets often, so I decided to use this recipe because every recipe I’ve cooked is amazing. Well, the cookies turned out like scones. I thought you had let me down!
Yesterday I tried again over at her house, and during the process my girlfriend remembered that she only put 1 stick of butter in them — she has the habit of rushing while cooking, making stupid mistakes. We corrected that mistake, and general consensus is the cookies beat her mom’s.
I should’ve never doubted your recipe!
