Chocolate Chip Cookies The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies! (Maybe?)
Year after year Chocolate Chip Cookies are rated the most popular by people all over the world. There is something magical about a rich and buttery dough packed with perfect chocolate morsels. Not only does it taste amazing, but it often takes us back to the wonderful memories of childhood.
But there is something that makes this recipe different. The chilling. And if you don’t chill the dough it will change the texture and consistency. I found out that folks often skip the chilling. It can dramatically change the final result I highly recommend that you do NOT SKIP CHILLING. If you can’t resist snacking or popping them in the oven right away, try making a double batch. It’s worth it.
So be sure you plan ahead. After assembling the dough, chill it for at least 24 hours before baking it, preferably up to 36. This allows the dry ingredients time to soak up the wet ones, which results in a firmer, richer dough.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
How long do you cook Chocolate Chip Cookies? The cookies bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Remove them when they are light golden brown on the edges.
Can I make bigger/smaller Chocolate Chip Cookies? You can! A giant chocolate chip cookie uses a 1/2 cup of batter per cookie and bakes for 16-20 minutes, but you can size them down to 1-2 tablespoons for smaller cookies. (and keep an eye on them in the oven if you are making minis)
Can I customize my Chocolate Chip Cookies? Absolutely. Swap the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips for even more peanut butter flavor. Use all milk chocolate, or all dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips. Add flaked sea salt to the top. Heck, you can even add some drizzled chocolate to really make these amazing!
Can Chocolate Chip Cookies be gluten-free? I believe they can, but I haven’t tested this recipe specifically. If you substitute the flour for 1:1 gluten-free flour, the recipe should work. This will change the texture slightly.
