🍪 THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 🍪

“These disappeared faster than cookies at my house 😂”

🌟 INTRODUCTION

There are cookies… and then there are these cookies.
Golden on the edges, gooey in the middle, packed with chunks of chocolate and sprinkled with a little love — this recipe is the kind that gets passed down generations, baked during holidays, breakups, birthdays, and boring Tuesdays.

Whether you’re baking for someone you love, trying to win someone over, or just need a hit of sweet joy, this is the recipe to go to. You’ve been warned: these will vanish faster than you expect.

🕰️ A LITTLE HISTORY

The chocolate chip cookie was born in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She was trying to make chocolate cookies but ran out of baking chocolate — so she broke up a Nestlé chocolate bar instead, expecting it to melt. It didn’t. And the result? The first-ever chocolate chip cookie.

Nestlé later struck a deal with Ruth to print her recipe on their packaging — in exchange for a lifetime supply of chocolate. (Iconic.)

🍫 WHY PEOPLE LOVE THEM (LOVERS OF THE COOKIE)

Let’s be real:

Soft, warm cookies can fix almost anything.
They bring people together — kids, adults, grandparents.
Perfectly balanced sweetness, texture, and that molten chocolate bite.

There are cookie lovers… and then there are cookie fanatics — people who know exactly how long to chill the dough, how dark their chocolate chips should be, and the precise second to pull them out of the oven for that soft-middle finish. This recipe? Approved by all of them.

🛒 INGREDIENTS (Makes about 24 cookies)

Dry:

2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Wet:

1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened (but not melted!)
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar (for chewiness)
1/2 cup (100g) white sugar (for crisp edges)
2 large eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Extras:

2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)
Flaky sea salt for topping (trust me!)

🥣 METHOD

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined — don’t overmix!
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
For best results: chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
Scoop cookie dough balls (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the tray, leaving space to spread.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Optional but amazing: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt as soon as they come out.
Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

🍪 COOKIE FORMATION 101

Here’s what’s happening in that oven:

Butter melts: spreads the cookie.
Sugar caramelizes: gives you flavor + crispy edges.
Eggs provide structure and chew.
Chocolate? It gets gooey and melty and perfect.
Chilling the dough = deeper flavor and less spread.

❤️ FOR THE LOVERS

These cookies have been known to:

Win over crushes
Save friendships
Impress in-laws

They are love letters in edible form.
Every bite says: “I care about you enough to bake.”
