My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie
A while back I posted THIS picture on Facebook and Instagram.
It was just a picture of some 'Plain Jane' chocolate chip cookies I was making on a random Saturday.
But people were interested…
I had no idea you guys still cared about a recipe for a chocolate chip cookie. Here I am, in the kitchen day after day trying to come up with ridiculous combinations of candy and butter to wow you, and all I needed to do was make a stinking chocolate chip cookie.
I have a lot to learn.
So today I am going to give you MY favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. I will not label it "the best", or "the greatest" or whatever. But I will call it "My favorite". We make chocolate chip cookies a lot in my world, but there are so many versions available, with minor tweaks here and there, claiming to give it that edge.
Here's the thing. I like basically all chocolate chip cookies. BUT after playing with lots of different recipes and doing loads of "research" on the taste testing end, I have come up with my favorite recipe. It's nothing fancy, there's no unusual ingredients, but I like it the best.
That is all.
So here you go…My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.
Honestly, it's simple. Cream the butter and the sugar, add the eggs and vanilla and add the dry ingredients. Basic.
My slight variation is the addition of a little dark brown sugar…not too much, just a little to give it some extra depth, mini chocolate chips and also, I only use coarse sea salt.
I've been using coarse sea salt in my cookies for about 10 years now…it happened on mistake, honestly..long before I even knew what a baking blog was.
My mom was over and helping one of the boys to make chocolate chip cookies…she asked him to grab the salt, and he grabbed the coarse sea salt on accident…
She didn't realize and baked them up, as usual.
When I ate the cookie I was amazed at how little coarse nuggets of salt made the cookie a whole new thing.
We've been making them that way ever since…
SO simply make your cookie dough.
And if you can, let your dough rest overnight…
If you can't wait, it's not the end of the world, but your cookie will turn out differently than mine did in these pictures.
Chilling the dough is an indulgent step. You should try it.
You can even let it sit up to 2 days.
When you're ready to get your baking on, measure your dough out in about 3 Tbsp sized dough balls. I used my 3 Tbsp cookie scoop…I love that guy.
A bigger cookie's always better. Word.
Place them about 2 inches apart on your baking sheet.
Also, I normally use a parchment paper lined baking sheet, but I happened to run out on this day…
And the mini chips add more chocolate to every bite. That's really what this whole story is about, yes?
Bake them for about 9 minutes.
I like mine a little on the under-done side.
Let them cool on your baking sheet for a few minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
They're beautiful, aren't they?
I know everyone loves their own recipe for chocolate chips cookies, so I'd love to hear if you have any special tricks to get yours perfect.
But really, you should try mine. I mean, if we're really friends and all…
Makes 24 cookies
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 (12 oz) bag mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
How to Make
- Cream butter and sugars together in stand mixer for about 2 minutes on medium speed, until fluffy and light. Add in eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until incorporated.
- Turn mixer to low and add in flour, baking powder and soda and coarse sea salt.
- Mix on low until evenly incorporated.
- Stir in all chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover dough with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight, or up to 48 hours.
- When ready to bake preheat oven to 350°
- I used a 3 Tbsp cookie scoop and placed the dough 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Do this carefully, as the cookies might not be completely set in the center.
These cookies might seem a bit underdone in the center when you take them out of the oven, but once they cool, they will be perfect! If you prefer a more "done" cookie, increase baking time 1-2 minutes.

Lovin' the simple stuff!

I was wondering if you can't refrigerate the cookies overnight then can you freeze them? I'd love some feedback! Thank you
I definitely still care about chocolate chip cookie recipes. My husband only wants the NYT ones but I mess around with him every now and then, just to see if he can tell. The mini chips make these look super cute!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking recently posted..Apple Pie Smoothie -
These are beautiful cookies, and I love the coarse sea salt addition. I definitely underbake my cookies too. I love seeing others' "go-to" chocolate chip cookie recipes!
Cassie recently posted..Sriracha Balsamic Vinaigrette | Sriracha Week Roundup -
These look perfect. I like mine a little under baked too. Wanna know the best thing about your favorite chocolate chip cookie? It looks like there is no chance of getting that dreaded chocolate chip-less bite.
Sometines simple is best. I will always love a basic chocolate chip cookie no matter how many "wow" desserts I see. Thanks for sharing!
Back for Seconds recently posted..Skinny Nutella Cinnamon Swirl Bread -
Chocolate chip cookies are my all time favorite cookie to fall back on! I am definitely adding sea salt to my next batch AND mini chocolate chips. More chocolate per bite is what I am all about!!! And underdone cookies are really the only way to make them:-)
Jocelyn recently posted..Pumpkin Raisinets Muffin Tops -
Yup, sometimes the most basic chocolate chip cookie is the most satisfying. I've eaten and made a ton of cookies in my day, but when I think of my "favorite" cookie, immediately my mom's chocolate chip cookies come to mind.
*quick typo alert: you said to place the cookie dough on "you" baking sheet
Thanks Shelly. I believe it's time for me to make some chocolate chip cookies

Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar recently posted..Maple Pumpkin Pie -
These do look great. I always only use coarse salt in my ccc's, too. Love seeing/trying all the different recipes out there. My favorite is called "my favorite", too. Because really, is there a best?
Thanks for sharing your trade secrets! Love the recipe, and that you use white, light AND dark brown sugar AND 1 tbsp of vanilla. I love vanilla, too. I am a huge believer in chilled overnight for cookie dough. Makes SUCH a huge difference in results.
And that you used mini chips. I only use them in small no-bake cookie-dough little balls b/c they work better but now that i see them in this recipe, I need to try that idea!
Averie @ Averie Cooks recently posted..Spiced Apple and Banana Bundt Cake with Vanilla Caramel Glaze -
LOVE chocolate chip cookies!!!!!
I have been making them for years with both brown sugar, and fruit sugar instead of granulated. Makes them soft and chewy, People keep asking for my secret, and I tell them. -
I love the combination and ratios of sugars here Shelly! My favorite CCC recipe includes cornstarch to thicken them up a little bit. I am a firm believer in chilling the dough as well. It makes a world of a difference!

I have been on a huge chocolate chip cookie kick lately. I have tried several recipes but still can't figure out wat I'm looking for. I am definetly going to put yours on my "to be tried" list. My biggest issue is that the first day or so they taste great and then they dry out really bad….. Maybe it's my altitude? IDK. I love your website!
Done and done. But just so you know, "your favorite" = "the best." It just comes with being awesome, Shelly; embrace it
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel recently posted..Red Velvet Cake Donuts & A Giveaway! -
Chocolate cookies are the best! Yes especially undercooked. We don't like crispy cookies in or house. I would definitely leave the dough in the fridge over night but there might not be any left in the morning. Yousee my husband loves to eat raw cookie dough. Whats salmonella??
I like using brown butter in mine. I also like to use big chunks of chocolate. I like the idea of using dark brown sugar. I usually just use light brown sugar with a little white.

I'm always up for a new chocolate chip cookie recipe. I love that they are loaded with chocolate chips.
Lauren at Keep It Sweet recently posted..Mini Lemon Cupcakes with Perfect Silky Buttercream -
My sister swears by using coconut extract instead of vanilla, but our family chocolate chip cookie growing up used peppermint extract! I play with that recipe a lot but I find that it really needs the mint… I'll have to try yours for a non-minty cookie!
I can think of nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie, honestly the simplest things are just the best some times.

Quick question – convection or no? I am usually trying to max as many sheets in the oven at once so usually use convection, but am always curious if I'm affecting the outcome by making a slight temperature and time change…
I need to put in mini chips – so much more chocolate per bite!
Love the use if corse sea salt and a bit of dark brown sugar! Can't wait to make your version!!

The chocolate chip cookie recipe I use, which is the one I grew up eating thanks to my mom, calls for regular sugar and brown sugar. I think it makes a huge difference by adding in that brown sugar. Yum yum!
And I'm going to have to start trying coarse sea salt in my cookies. I bet that is wonderful!
Oh my those look good. I love the contrast of the salt with the buttery cookie and chocolate chips, so good!
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen recently posted..How to Infuse Vodka and Spirits | Cocktail Time -
I found a recipe where you melt the butter rather than let it soften. This is GREAT when you find yourself in one of those "must have chocolate chip cookies NOW" moods. I tried softening the butter in the microwave with my old recipe, and they would turn out badly, flat, and hard to scoop off the baking sheet :/
Ok these are so good! I made the dough yesterday and am baking them and I am eating them now with my morning coffee! I love the mini chips, but since I only had half a bag, I added some regular size chips too (didn't want to skimp on the chocolate.) Some are getting mailed to my college kids that's why I am baking in the morning because they will probably be gone by tonight. Thanks for the recipe.

So here's the thing. I never comment on blogs that I follow..I just silently creep. And I don't even really bake. I started following your blog because I love good pictures of yummy food.

I baked these Tuesday (made the dough late Saturday night) and they are gooey and delicious! The dough is also delicious and it was very difficult not to eat all of the dough while the first batch of cookies were baking. BUT, the dense chip filled dough broke both of my cookie scoops! I don't know if mine are just cheap or what, but they're both busted. I'm thinking next time I may chill the dough just to the point of being not-sticky, scoop dough out and then finish chilling on a parchment covered plate. Then just plop them on a baking sheet to bake.
Made these last weekend. LOVE THEM! Thank you for sharing.

Making these right now, my 1st pan turned out flat, but I do love the salty finish. The rest look more like the pictures.
Is this recipe adapted from a certain source or author? Just wondering where you got your inspiration and base recipe. Thanks!
I like to add a few shakes of cinnamon to my chocolate chip cookies Also, I've swapped a little of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat…gave the cookies nice chew and texture. I wanna try with mini chocolate chips as well. More chocolate in every bite is genius!
Sounds Yummy! In the last year or so I have started using a recipie with sea salt too and it makes a HUGE difference! I am always amazed at how much better they taste. However, mine turn flat? Do you have any guesses as to why?? Or any tricks to keeping them thick like yours!
These look freaking awesome. I must make them!!
Making these right now. How will I ever wait until tomorrow to bake them??? The look sooo good!
And baked them today They are sooo good! Thanks Shelly!!!
I just made them and they turned out beautifully! I used half semi sweet chocolate chips and mint chocolate chips, and it was the perfect amount of mint and chocolate!
Love these!!! They are going into my Christmas cookie boxes!! Best that I have had, and I make a lot of cookies!
I have to ask, what is your secret to getting this "look"? Mine turn out looking like the pic you posted on facebook, more smooth on top. The pics you have here are sinfully beautiful and I think it's the texture on the tops. You use a scoop, but must do something different than me, I stuff my scoop with dough, level it off then dish onto the cookie sheet. The scoop looks like it would if it were ice cream, ya know, dome on top, flat on bottom. Yours in the pic look like they were just scooped with a spoon. I can't figure out what I am doing different but am dying to get mine to look like yours instead of so smooth, all the texture on top.
Any tips to put me out of my agony? I will be forever trying to master this, haha!
I have to say also that this is also my favorite chocolate chip recipe, I've used it now like 3-4 times! Thank you!
I tried the recipe, do i have to press down on the dough before putting them in the oven. I tried without pressing on the dough, and it came out thick and biscuit-y and it doesn't look as pretty.
haha let me know.Rosie
I don't normally post comments on these blogs but these cookies made me change my ways. These were by far the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made, and I've tried a lot of recipes. Thank you for sharing! AMAZING!

Jut wanted to leave you a note and thank you for this recipe. My husband has gotten me to make them three times since I made the first batch. It's dubbed a winner by a true Cookie Monster
These are definitely my go to chocolate chip cookies! Until I found this recipe I had tried soo many before and NONE worked out. My boyfriend isn't much of a cookie person but these have converted him to asking for them all the time.
Definitely will be trying these soon. I love to add cinnamon to my ccc, but another thing I like to do is dissolve instant coffee in my vanilla. It adds just a little different flavor. It's even good if you don't like coffee. I love all your cookie recipes!
In addition to refrigerating my cookie dough, I brown the butter! It adds a whole new depth of flavor!! And I too, use dark brown sugar! Yum! I want to go and bake some now!
What if I make these on parchment paper
I think the reason everyone wants the recipe is from the 4th picture here! The way that top cookie gives an interior view of the cakey fullness & mountain full of chocolate chip morsels! That picture just makes my mouth water a little too much!
HI! I sent you a note on FB with a pic but wanted to leave a note here too!
I'm making another batch this weekend!
Hi Shelly
I love your recipes. May I ask you something? Did u press the dough on parchment paper or just leave it like a ball?
Thank you in advance.Your fan from Thailand.
[…] This recipe is from a blog that I like to visit quite often (the picture came from the blog too, as this picture is way better than what I could take with my phone). […]
[…] This year I wanted to find 'My Favourite' Chocolate Chip Cookie. I have tried several recipes and have yet to find it, but this one is almost there! I will continue my search in the new year, but this is the one to beat! Thank you Cookies and Cups. […]
Excellent recipe. These are now my favorite chocolate chip cookies by far. The right amount of dark brown sugar, the course salt and the mini chips really make a difference. I made mine with salted Kerry Gold butter which gave them extra wonderful buttery flavor. Everyone loves them. Thanks so much for this recipe.
I think your favorite chocolate chip cookie could soon become mine! My husband has a weakness for c.c cookies and I always have some in the freezer for him. I am intrigued by your use of coarse sea salt and am super excited about the tablespoon of vanilla!!! Thanks!

Poured from a growler. Rich, orangey floral daggers fly at my nose. Crisp sugar ans syrup rides out. Pours a deepened bronze. Strong rim of white. Flavor takes a backseat the aroma and holds a lesser sense of hop importance. A nip of thinness and alcohol showing. Malt and honey flow through. Good play between the malt and hops, but sometimes neither holds up their respective end of the bargain. Love the spicy, bready rich finish.

Sampling a 12 oz bottle at cellar temp poured into a snifter. The beer is a gift from my brother Brian.
The beer pours a bright clear copper color with minimal eggshell white head of about .5 cm. The head fades quickly to a tightly packed edge layer.
Aroma is some light caramel and then rindy and spicy hops. I also get a little black pepper booze mixed in.
First sip reveals an average body with mild spacious carbonation that rolls gently across my palate.
Flavor is similar to what is to be expected from the nose, I get some mildly grainy and sweet caramel this rolls to a very dry finish with some rindy citrus hops and a lingering astringency.
There is just a little booze that gives a slight peppery kick but no warmth or fusol heat.
THe beer is very easy to drink even with the larger ABV.
I find his ABV enjoyable and fun to drink. Could be a little on the dangerous side for drinkability. A nice example of the style that isnt just tons of hops to burn your mouth as you drink.

Pours a copper color with a white head. A bit of lace is left behind. Aroma of citrus and herbs. Citrusy and malty. In the taste, quite bitter and citrusy with some pineapple and tropical pine. Nicely balanced between fruity, bitter and sweet. Medium to full bodied. Overall, this is a delicious imperial
pale ale.

Thanks to my buddy John for this one.
Reddish amber with a short off-white head that dissipates quickly. Excellent clarity and low-moderate carbonation.
Navel orange, tangerine, lemon and pink grapefruit.
Lemon pith, pink grapefruit and perfumey florals. Lighter notes of orange citrus and pineapple juice. Well balanced honey sweet backbone. Finishes with grapefruit rind, lemon zest and pine needles.
Medium-plus bodied, juicy, oily and smooth.
Well, I'll be...9.6%? Wow. Nicely balanced and hides the alcohol extremely well.

For my 100th review I've decided it to be most appropriate to have a local brew. (State College, PA). Go Nittany Lions!
A- Pours a deep but translucent amber with a huge rocky tan head that sticks around forever.
S- Quite a hop presence, with not detecting much malt to back it up. Very citrusy and clean smelling.
T- Follows the nose very consistently. Clean and refreshing, but not quite balanced enough; something is just a little off. The finish is quite dry and bitter. The malt reappears here with a more dominating presence.
M- The carbonation is towards the high end of the scale and the body is medium, if not thin for the style.
O- I like this beer, but don't love it. The price is great at $4 though.

PORTLAND, OREGON -- We bought a camera to set up live streaming. We figured out after tial and error that we need a camera with a microphone input. We were just past the 30 day cut off for returns, bu they agreed to return it since we were upgrading to a more expensive camera. We chose one and they only had the floor model. We asked for a discount and they said no. They were already doing us a favor by letting us return something after 30 days. They guy threw my credit card at me, threw the pen in my ditrection to sign, then made a huge production about crossing off the return policy and writing "no refunds or exchanges" on the receipt. I was so shocked by the rude treatment. My co-worker went back in and made him write and sign "OK to return if defective" since it was a floor model. Believe me I will NEVER step foot in that store again.

Never played before, for a first guitar should I better go with the ones on Amazon :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/...d_i=507846 It's 110$ with the amp or should grab this one here and buy an amp separately? I'd get a cheap headphone amp for now. What's the best bang for the buck? Any advice? |
I believe if you are comparing the deal to a Strat-copy, you will see those deals all day long under $99. It's not often though that you can get a Les Paul copy for around $100. The reviews point to this being an excellent entry guitar and if $100 gives someone a chance to pick up a Strat or better yet be able to pick up a Les Paul copy to see if they like the humbucker, I can't see how they can go wrong, especially if most of the downside is cosmetic. Don't fault it for what it's not. Any $100 guitar is an entry guitar. If it stays in tune and keeps a beginner playing along and maybe moved them along from RockBand/Guitar Hero to a physical guitar, it did it's job. |
Do yourself a favor and get a cheaper guitar than Amp. A Chinese guitar can play and sound good (I have a $100.00 Chinese telecaster copy that I LOVE) but a cheap amp is crap. Look for a used Vox Valvetronix or a Fender Mustang I. Those go on sale for about 100.00. |
You can easily find a Epiphone SG or LP Studio on Craigslist for $200 or less. I've seen Epiphone G400 for $150 on my local CL. Agile AL series LP's go for ~$200 on CL. If you are going to buy brand new, I'd check on the rondomusic.com site because they have a good bang for your buck value. Last edited by BuddyTheElf; 06-10-2013 at 03:38 PM.. |
Man, this is a hard one for me. Got my motor running when I saw the post!
I have an awesome g&l strat, but have wanted to get a les paul or other humbucker guitar, preferably solid mahogany with a set neck. This at best, is half way there, with basswood and a bolt-on neck. I bought an epiphone black beauty for my nephew a few years back off ebay for 400 bucks which was likely from someone in china who hijacked a shipment or bought a load off the manufacturer before they left the factory. It was absolutely perfect. I see you get various epiphone special editions between 3 & 400 bucks from sweetwater where they will check the setup. All the good reviews are scary, are they edited or hand picked? I'll wait patiently to see what you all have to say on yours. And if a good offer on a real one comes along, I'll check it out. |
1 2 3 4 For Les Paul, 1 is Tone for neck pickup, 2 is Volume for neck, 3 is Tone for bridge pickup and 4 is Volume for bridge. |
The argument that a really good player can play anything and make it sound great is true, but most good musicians have good equipment, it might be beat to hell, but it's solid. I can attest that when you find a guitar that has a really sweet tone to your ears and playability, it's something special and will make you enjoy your music that much more. Now I'd like to see what they can come up with for amps....... |
I have no idea about the quality of these guitars, but the last thing I'd recommend to a friend that wanted to start playing guitar would be to order one on the internet.
Go to Guitar Center or another shop and play a few guitars. See what feels right in your hand. And nearly everyone wants a guitar that sounds like a Fender, and you can usually get a cheap one at the shop for not much over the price of these. http://www.musiciansfr http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Star...ratocast My favorite multi-post reply of 2008:
It drives US distributors nuts because what they got as samples aren't necessarily what ships 6 months down the road. |

Ricky's Fish Tacos
Deciding to make up for lost time, I recently visited RFT's new location in Silverlake.
Whereas RFT's friendly namesake used to serve his tacos from a cart, he now runs a larger operation with a full-sized deep-fryer as well as tables and chairs--all in the shade of several large tents.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by smiles, the bubbling sounds of frying food and enormous jugs of brilliantly colorful, homemade agua fresca (on this day, the flavors were watermelon and hibiscus). The casual, cheerful atmosphere perfectly suited my lazy Sunday vibe, and we happily ordered two shrimp tacos (for me, $2.50 each) and two fish tacos (for J, also $2.50 each) and took a seat.
As we waited for our lunch, we also watched it being prepared, which I--as a generally nosy person--enjoyed.
*Bubble bubble*
The tacos come topped with fresh, crunchy cabbage and a flavorful pico de gallo. From here, you have your choice of several different salsas and a creamy mayo sauce to further dress your taco.
To his fish tacos, J drizzled on the mayo sauce and a smoky chipotle salsa.
To my shrimp tacos, I added Ricky's recommendation for the least spicy salsa. Upon hearing J's recommendation the mayo, however, I also added a generous squirt of that sauce.
The superlative praise lavished on Ricky's Fish Tacos is deserved: these are no joke. The batter which coats the fish and shrimp is suprisingly light and, despite being fried, the tacos are neither weighty nor greasy. The cabbage and pico de gallo add a firm crunch to the tacos, and the salsas are all uniquely flavorful. Although I do not particularly love mayo, the cool, creamy sauce provided the finishing touch on both the shrimp and fish tacos (or so I'm told, with the latter).
We also thoroughly enjoyed our sweet hibiscus agua fresca, made with pressed hibiscus leaves. Like its color, the flavor of the drink was deep and complex. My only complaint is that the drink was so good, but the cup was so small!
I weep to only learn now that Ricky's Fish Tacos sells more seafood than the kind mentioned in its name.

Bludso's BBQ
Although questions of where to find good BBQ in Los Angeles are often polarizing (any given BBQ joint is often the absolute "best" or "worst" place someone has eaten), the praise has been almost unanimous for one place--Bludso's BBQ.
Located in Compton only a stone's throw away from the Long Beach city limits, Bludso's BBQ serves Texas-style BBQ in Texas-sized portions. Owner Kevin Bludso hails from a barbecuing family and relies on the BBQ techniques of his great great grandfather and the recipes of his grandmother. I'm a sucker for food with history.

A Night at the Roosevelt: 25 Degrees and Library Bar
The fries were average, tasting store-bought with too much rosemary thrown on them.
The onion rings, on the other hand, were a sound choice--crunchy and not too greasy.
After hearing much praise for 25 Degrees' burgers, I, as a burger junkie, was thrilled when my whopping Number Two ($12.00) with pesto, prosciutto, burrata and a roasted tomato arrived. Despite my trepidations about burrata on a burger, this dish delievered on every level. The juicy patty and soft brioche provided a solid, quality foundation for the Italian accoutrements. To my delight, the combination of the salty prosciutto, tangy tomato and creamy burrata with the burger was not at all overwhelming-- just mind-blowingly tasty. The brioche also held up surprisingly well, becoming soggy only towards the end of my meal.
J's Number One ($12.00) with prelibato gorgonzola crescenza, caramelized onions, bacon, arugula and Thousand Island was also quite enjoyable. With a generous serving of cheese and a hearty slice of extra-crispy bacon, what is not to love? Again, the thick, juicy patty set the foundation for this delicious burger.
