Chocolate Chip Cookies
Report
There's something magical about a perfectly crafted chocolate chip cookie – especially one that's thin, chewy, and loaded with melty chocolate in every bite. After years of testing and tweaking, I'm excited to share what I believe is one of the best cookie recipes of all time.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups light brown sugar packed for proper measurement
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 sticks 1 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 milk chocolate bar roughly chopped
Instructions
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Wet Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with both brown and white sugars. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sugars are well incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly lighter in color.
- Combine Dry Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents throughout the dough.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bar pieces, reserving some for topping the cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate bar pieces, reserving some for topping the cookies.
- chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight. This allows the flour to hydrate properly and the flavors to develop fully.
- Scoop chilled dough using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space between each cookie. Press additional chocolate pieces onto the tops of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Notes
- Common issues:
- Room temperature ingredients are crucial - especially butter and eggs.
- Should be slightly tacky but not sticky. Chill dough 24-72 hours for better flavor and texture.
- Look for golden brown edges with slightly underbaked centers
- Remove from oven when centers look almost done (they'll continue cooking)
- Let cool on pan 5 minutes before moving
- Use Real butter (no substitutes)
- Use High-quality chocolate (chips or chopped bars)
- Use Fresh brown sugar for proper moisture
- Too flat: Warm dough or too little flour
- Too cakey: Too much flour or overmixing
- Hard/crispy: Overbaking or wrong sugar ratio
