Today we’re going to talk about cookies. Not just any cookies, but CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (yes that word is bolded, italicized AND underlined…if I could add sparkles to it I would have).Before I had kids, I was on a mission to find the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe ever.
I had visions of my children declining invitations to friends houses, instead saying “No, come over MY house. My mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies ever“.
Of course, I’d have my hair curled and be wearing a pretty dress with heals and a frilly apron. More than happy to bake cookies for all the neighborhood kids.
Well so far, that hasn’t happened. Give it time though, my kids are only 3 and 1. However, I do believe I’ve found the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
It’s not just about the ingredients! Oh no. It’s also about the techniques!

Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
adapted from this recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of melted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Melt the butter in the microwave (be sure to use REAL unsalted butter)
- Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- Dissolve baking soda in hot water.
- Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour and chocolate chips
- Place batter into refrigerator for at LEAST 1 hour, preheat oven to 350
- Take out the dough and drop by rounded tablespoon fulls onto an UNGREASED cookie sheet
- Let bake for 15-17 minutes, checking often until the edges are browning and the middle is just barely set. Don’t overcook! They cook a little more once you take them out of the oven.
As my son would say DELICIOUS!
I guarantee your house will be the hot spot if you bake these cookies! It makes a pretty large batch so you can even freeze some of the dough in portions.
Sometimes, if I’m feeling really ambitious, I’ll go ahead and freeze the dough in balls on a cookie sheet. Than I place the balls in freezer bags so I can just pull out however many cookies we want at that time.
Made to order homemade cookies! Doesn’t get much better than that!
