Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Monday, May 30, 2022
These really to me are the Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies and so addicting you can't stop at one cookie no way no how.


This cookie recipe is made with cake flour and all-purpose flour, but these are ingredients to make them absolutely perfect in shape and flavor.


I have tried so many recipes over the last 20 years everyone always claims they're the best but these have to be the best because I always go back to making this chocolate chip cookie recipe.


Chocolate chips are famous and there are hundreds of recipes on the net, but if you want bakery-style cookies, these are the recipe you're looking for.


You can control crispy to chewy just by over-baking or under-baking, so make them how you like them and test a few before making a whole cookie sheet full.


If you are a cookie jar cookie lover, do try my family's Everything Cookies, Chocolate Chip Shortbread recipe, Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe, and oatmeal cookies!


Scroll down to this easy recipe and give them a try!








Crunchy or Soft



They are soft inside and crispy outside but it's all how they're shaped and how long you cook them.


I love cookies crunchy so I make flattened ones for me and leave some round and high for my cookie monsters in the house that love the softer kind.


If you bake them until set then they will be softer or cook them longer until darker brown then they are crunchy just how I like them!

Best Chocolate Chips Claim to Fame



These rich buttery chocolate chip cookies have a secret ingredient of cornstarch that we used when I worked at a bakery, it makes a huge difference in texture.

The flour was not 100% all-purpose and we used a combination of cornstarch and flour that made these perfect every time.

With our tips and tricks and step-by-step, our one recipe will make thin and crispy or thick and chewy chocolate chips.

The best of both worlds no matter what thickness you like.

So, if you're shaking your head and hate nuts Don't ADD them, or prefer pistachios, pecans or another add them! If you don't like dark chocolate chips use milk, white, semi-sweet, and adapt away.

The only thing you should never change using real Butter with another fat like oil or margarine that is a must! Enjoy!

Don't forget to smash them down thin for crispy browned cookies like the one below for thick and softer cookies leave them in rounds!
