Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

There are few things that are better then a perfect chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven.  This tends to be my fall back gift for just about any occasion… I forgot your birthday?  Here is a nice batch of yummy chocolate chip cookies.  New baby at home?  I baked these fresh for you.  Just moved into a new house?  Welcome and here are some fabulous cookies..  Suffering heartbreak?  You know a cookie is just the thing.

I make these for the neighbors and for friends all the time.  I have gone through lots of chocolate chip cookie recipes in my day and this one is my very favorite.  I am a soft cookie kind of person (not to be confused with those that like the crispier cookies) so I tend to underbake these just a tiny bit.  Then you get that gorgeous ooey-gooey thing going which just can’t be beat.

This recipe comes from Ghiradelli which is my favorite company for chocolate chips as well.  These are a tiny bit more at the grocery store but totally worth the extra few cents.   (And if you have a chocolate emergency the milk chocolate chips are delicious straight from the bag.  Not that I would know or anything…)

You can make these cookies with milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or semi-sweet.  I actually like to mix half milk chocolate with half white chocolate in my cookies.

I actually try to freeze about 2/3 of the dough and then I can have a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie in just minutes.

    Charlene,
    Have you ever tried substituting olive oil in your cooking for the butter? It is so much better for you and most people can’t taste the difference. Thank you for the recipe!

    I forgot the olive oil to butter ratio is 3/4 cup olive oil = 1 cup butter!
