RECIPE: Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ve been working on perfecting my chocolate chip cookies for a few months and finally feel ready to share the recipe.

It may have something to do with a sweet text I received today that said – “Without meaning to be effusive, you make the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten.” *sigh* It’s what we all crave to hear when we bake and share something right?! Well, if you’re looking for a delicious homemade sweet treat to either add to your weekly meal prep or share with family and friends this is a satisfying and easy recipe.

Homaro Cantu once said “When we think of classic American desserts, we tend to imagine apple pie and ice cream. However, the most classic American desert of all might be the chocolate chip cookie.” I couldn’t agree more. 

A fun fact about the chocolate chip cookie is that it was invented by American chefs Ruth Graves Wakefield and Sue Brides at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts in 1938. Here’s the original Toll House recipe and a little backstory on how it was inspired. 

Are you making cookies for someone who isn’t a fan of chocolate? You can easily substitute the chocolate chips with carob chips, nuts, raisins, dried cranberries or butterscotch chips. Have fun playing with the recipe and making it your own.

I hope you enjoy baking, eating, and sharing these chocolate chip cookies as much as I do!
