Okay, everyone… I’ve been schooled. I’ve learned a lesson in the how-to of the chocolately, ooey, gooey, deliciousness of making the perfect, and I mean PERFECT chocolate chip cookie. I used to own a cookie business, which worked out so well considering I ate most of the inventory, and over the years I have made it my mission to find the best chocolate chip cookie evah! You know the kind, the chewy, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet, but not too sweet, dunkable, munchable cookie.
With the help of several cookie geniuses and a little blackmail here and there (ha ha) I think I’ve done it. And now… I’m going to share it with a few (thousand) of my closest friends.
Here is the recipe, but don’t go getting all excited and jumping into making them! Aren’t you just too curious to learn my tips and tricks that MAKE the recipe the BEST out there? I thought so. So, sit back down and read this all the way through FIRST. Then, when you are through wiping the drool from your chins, gather your supplies and get to making your OWN batch!
Here are the magic players:
2 Cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup butter, melted (yes, I said MELTED) 1 Cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar (granulated) 1 Tbsp Vanilla 1 egg 1 egg yolk 1 1/2 Cups Milk chocolate chipsReady, Freddy? Let’s go!
1. First, gather all of your bad boys together into one place. This is partly for convenience, and partly to be sure you HAVE everything in the house that you need BEFORE you start making the dough!
2. Slap that butter into a microwave-safe bowl and start melting it. Okay, this went against everything I thought I knew about cookie-making. Melt the butter? Wha?!? Yes, melt that baby, melt it good!
3. While that butter is melting (it’s okay, breathe, it will work out) you can start to combine your dry ingredients into another bowl. Tip: When measuring flour, take a large, heaping cup full, then use a ruler or other straight edge to carefully skim off the top. Do NOT do the “tap tap tap down” thing as you’ll compact the flour instead of getting 1 cup of light fluffy goodness. Add to the flour the baking soda and salt. Whisk it together to combine.
4. Your butter should now be melted, so take it out of the microwave and be prepared to mix in the sugars. Tip: when measuring your brown sugar, you want to cram as much into that cup measurement as possible! Pretty much exactly the opposite as you did with the flour. Pack it in, baby, pack, pack, pack! Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the melted butter and beat until smooth.
5. Then add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Tip: When baking, it’s actually BETTER to use the artificial vanilla. When the real stuff get’s super heated (like, oh, 350 degrees or so) it actually loses some of it’s flavor! So feel free to be cheap here. It’s like my mantra, any way. Once the mixture is creamy, add in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
6. Oooh, baby, baby. Ahem.. sorry about that. I got lost in the cookie dough madness for a second. Okay, now we’re going to add the chocolate chips. PAY ATTENTION! You only want to add about HALF of the chocolate chips now. Don’t be tempted to add all of them… trust me. Put aside 1/3 – 1/2 of the chocolate chips in a small bowl and mix the rest in with the dough. You’ll thank me in a minute… Tip: Milk chocolate chips taste the BEST, but if you find the cookies a little on the sweet side, substitute half of the chips with semi-sweet.
7. Don’t get all excited now that your incredibly delicious dough is ready and waiting. Here is the rub: you need to stick that bowl of doughy goodness in your fridge for about an hour. If you bake it right now, you’ll end up with thin, frisbee-sized cookies that are not very appetizing (although, let’s be honest… anything involving chocolate is appetizing). So, stick that dough in the fridge, and walk away. Walk away before you are tempted above that which you can withstand. Oh, alright, have a little taste and THEN walk away. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll walk away now. Don’t worry, I’ll watch it for you. It’s not going anywhere. Come back in an hour.
8. Hey, you’re back! Wait… is that cookie dough on your cheek? Huh. Anyway, nab that bowl of chocolate chips that you put to the side, get out your baking sheets, and let’s start rolling! Tip: use a scoop to measure out balls which are uniform in size. This will prevent some from over-baking while others are undercooked. Okay, roll some dough to form a ball, then (ooh, you’ll love this) dip the top of the ball into the bowl of reserved chocolate chips. Then place a couple of inches apart on your baking sheet. This is what will give your cookies that “perfect” look. Stick them in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for about 13 minutes. You want to remove them when the tops are just the tiniest bit shiny.
Voila! Everyone ooh and ahh with me for a moment. These are melt-in-your-mouth good. I warn you, they will go fast. Sooo fast.
I hope you’ll try this out and enjoy the chocolatey goodness along with me!

Weedwacker says
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve been on a search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and can’t wait to try these. I have also found that a convection oven makes a BIG difference with cookies…it simply bakes them to perfection: tender on the outside, and a perfectly cooked soft inside.

Meredith says
Is there a change for cooking them at high altitude?
Julie L says
Cookie’s look incredible! I think I missed something though… when do you mix in the dry ingrediants? After you cream the sugar and the butter together? Or after you mix in the egg mixture? Just want to make sure mine come out PERFECT too! Thanks!
JoEllen Beckman says
I also missed when do you add the dry ingredients. These sound too delicious to wait.
Alison says
Oh these look good. Can you just send me some:) I like the dipping of chocolate chips…lots of them!
Bobbi says
Hi Julie! Check out step three for the dry ingredients. You sift them together before adding to the butter mixture. I hope yours turn out PERRFECT!

Mmm! Thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to try them!
Meagan says
This is almost exactly the same as my recipe (melted butter and everything!) I love this recipe. It does make the best cookies ever. My husband and friends will tell you that. And I actually love that you melt the butter because then you don’t have to worry about the butter being softened up to the right consistency. Thanks for the tips!
Shanna C says

I usually do oatmeal cookies cuz I too haven’t found that one of a kind recipe. Love what dipping the ball into the choc chips does for the finished product. And your commentary is hillarious. Thanks for the post and esp the recipe. On my way to by my missing ingredient-choc chips of course!
josephine says
This goes against every chocolate chip recipe I have ever used. And I just baked chocolate chip cookies last night for a back sale. I have to try this and no guarantee I will actually walk away though. Thanks.

honeebee52 says
Hmm, I have never melted the butter either! Anxious to give these a try. I will also add a few white chocolate chips. Mmmm my favorite to mix white and milk chocolate!
Maysem says
Hmmm…I reread step three a few times…sorry if I’m slow:P But are the sugars and melted butter being mixed in with the dry ingredients mixture or first mix the sugars and melted butter separately until smooth and then add the dry ingredients to it? Is the dry ingredients being added to the sugar/butter mixer before or after the eggs?
Bobbi says
Hi all – I need to be clear about one step! I think I was distracted by the chocolate chips:) You whisk together the dry ingredients in one bowl, then add to the butter/eggs/sugar/vanilla mixture. Stick that in somewhere before the awesome mixing dough picture and you’ll be right as rain! 🙂
.-= Bobbi´s last blog ..PERFECT Chocolate Chip Cookies! =-.
Courtney Pack says
Mine too. I added about 3/4 c flour to the 2nd batch and they came out better, but still only ok.
Ashlee says
I’m in the process of giving these a try. I put it in the fridge for an hour but it still looking pretty soft, so I tried cooking a pan and they went flat as frisbees. Do you only need to chill for an hour or is it at least an hour maybe longer. I put the dough back in the fridge for a while longer and i hope that does the trick, and that i didn’t totally mess up or something!
Sarah BB says
Same here Ashlee! I just attempted making a batch and they are as flat as a pancake. Even let them stay in the fridge an extra 30 minutes. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?? I so thought my problem with other choc chip recipes was butter consistency but I can’t use that excuse with this one. Even though they are flat, they are sooo good!

elizabeth c says
i followed to a T (except i even refridgerated longer)….flat flat flat 🙁
CarrieMJ says
There was an article in the NY Times about the perfect chocolate chip cookies. That recipe was a little time consuming because it called for the dough to rest from 24 to 36 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld and the butter & sugar to really combine for a deeper flavor. It also called for bread flour (either all or in combo with all purp, can’t remember). This made the cookies really puff up. This is our all time favorite choco chip cookie recipe. Unfortunately, it’s hard to not make the cookies right away because who wants to wait 2-3 days.
maria says
CarrieMJ, I make those too. It really does make a differnce to wait 24 hours. Make a double batch and freeze them, then you don’t have to wait the next time.
Katena says
I made these this morning, they are delicious.

Tiffany says
Mine turned out flatter than a pancake. Maybe it’s just me, ever since I moved to Idaho all my cookies seem to turn out that way. On the upside, they do taste delicious. 🙂
Amy says
Yummiest cookies ever! They look as good as they taste! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Karen says
Those are DELISH!!! They are as ‘chewy, melt-in-your-mouth, sweet, but not too sweet, dunkable, (and) munchable’ as promised. This recipe definitely gets a card in my recipe box.
.-= Karen´s last blog ..Is it just me =-.
Diane says
These sound great and I will definitely try them. My trick if you can call it that is to use both semi-sweet and milk chocolate chocolate chips (the more the merrier) and add some malt powder (the kind you would put in malted milks). It really makes a difference.
Di Ryan says
OK, So I just made these cookies and they are AMAZING!!!!! I used half semi sweet and half milk chocolate chips. Oh my goodness! As if they weren’t yummy enough I placed some vanilla ice cream between two and Super Yum– homemade chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches!!!
Brittany C. says
Yep, you were right, these Are the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie!! Oh my yum!! I made them for GNO and they got gobbled right up. perfect, just perfect! This is my new go to chocolate chip recipe. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Julie says
Really a TABLESPOON of vanilla? That seems like a lot, but we’re going to go with it and see how they turn out! I’ve been on the hunt for my perfect recipe (I don’t even like to eat chocolate chip cookies so I’m not sure why I’m so obsessed) I thought I’d found it last week, but I’m going to give this one a try and compare! Thanks for the recipe!

Jill McClure says
I made these per your directions the first time and didn’t like them that much. I don’t like real thick and floury cookies. The second time I didn’t put the dough in the refrigerator and they were much better. I love the thin, gooey and crispy type cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
Jenifer says
I looked at step three a couple of times and didn’t see where it said to add the dry ingredients to the butter. Does it matter if it’s before or after the sugar?
Kim says
These look awesome! I use to wonder why the refrigerated toll house cookies tasted different than the homemade recipe, until I looked at the ingredients. Now I put 1TB of molasses in my cookies. I ALWAYS scoop them and freeze before baking. It makes them crisp on the outside and gooey inside. I can’t wait to try these, the melted butter intrigues me!
Kathy says
These look great. I’m going to try the recipe when I get off my 30 day sugar-free challenge. Kathy

Sarah says
April, my mom was on some sort of elimination diet, and anyway, they gave a recipe for egg replacer, and I thought I’d share it with you. I don’t know how it would go in this recipe especially since it calls for an egg and an egg yolk, but you can try it.
Egg Replacement – equals one egg
1/3 cup water
1 Tbls whole or ground flaxseed
Place the water and flaxseed together and allow to gel for about 5 minutes. This mixture will bind patties, meat loaves, cookies and cakes as well as eggs do, but it will not leaven like eggs for souffles or sponge cakes. Increase amounts accordingly for additional egg replacement.

I am about to make these luscious cookies…I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe and will let you know if this one fits the bill! 🙂
Novice Cookie Lady says
I too was on the quest for the perfect cookie when I stumbeld on Alton Brown’s The Chewy recipe. With a few tweaks it became my HANDS-DOWN FAVORITE! He uses more flour and a hotter oven temp, and suggests (on the show, not the website) dark brown sugar as it makes for a richer chewier cookie. Though I have pasted his recipe here, I have found that the all-purpose flour, increased chilling time (more like 30 minutes in the freezer or 3 hours in the fridge), and a slightly decreased cooking time)solved the flat-as-a-pancake problem for me. I also make stack my dough a little higher (shaping more like an egg than a ball) to combat the flatteneing.
I hope you enjoy it as mucas I do. 🙂

Okay, a word to the wise…do NOT use margarine on this recipe! I’m always one to skimp and use margarine instead of butter in recipes. Because of the directions to melt the butter, though, if you use margarine, your cookie dough will be thin and the cookies will turn out flat and crispy. Ask me how I know… 😉 lol

Kayla Durden says
I tried the recipe needing a new one… the recipe I used in Alaska does not taste as good in California. Temperature and Altitude differences… bleh.
I made your recipe, for some reason I added a tsp of honey as well since the prospect of 1/2 of white sugar did not seem enough sweetness for me. (my prior recipe had two cups sugar, this one only 1.5)
I also used chunks instead of chips. I froze my dough in the freezer for two hours and then added peanut butter chips. The bake time, at 350, was more like 16 minutes (then again my dough balls were …man-sized because my boyfriend is 6’5 and 210 lbs… normal sizes do not work for him)
They turned out really well, they were thick and tasty. I will definitely modify the recipe if I use it again. Thanks for posting, its a good one and better than my Alaskan family recipe.
Rochelle P says
Um, wow. These definitely are THE Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies. I made them with the kids yesterday, and I want to hide them for myself. I’ve made many chocolate chip cookie recipes, but this by far is the tastiest one I’ve tried. I want to make another batch with pecans soon! Thanks for sharing.

Mmmmm these were really good. I’ve never really played around with a plain choc chip cookie recipe because I normally find them really boring, but these were great. I want to try leaving them for the 24hours that always gets recommended, but I didn’t have enough choc chips for two batches, and couldn’t wait that long.

That’s a fantastic recipe! Makes me want to go bake now… it’s a shame I’m dieting haha 🙁
Cass says
This recipe is the BEST! I have made them several times. Do not try to substitute butter with margarine or shortening.. Your cookies will go flat! I prefer the semi-sweet chocolate for a more chocolaty flavor. Yum!!
Heather says
Thank you Bobbi these were so tasty! I wasnt sure when to add the dry ingredients as I didnt see that step in the instructions, and didnt scroll through the comments to see you said to mix in the butter with all the dry then just add sugar…so….I just mixed the dry together, then the wet, and then added the dry to the wet and then hand stired in the chips. I’m not sure if this made a difference but I didnt end up with flat pancake like cookies like some of the other reviewers, so Im guessing I did something right! ha Thanks again so much!!
Sbouyer4 says
No offense but I don’t care for comments that the cookies look amazing and great. We all can see that. When I read comments I want to know that they’ve tried it and it worked and tasted great. I don’t have time to read and skip all those messages.
Anyway sorry, just thought I’d get that out.
This is the best of the best chocolate chip cookies. I’ve baked this for a year now. Everyone who’s had it is blown away. I’ve printed and emailed this recipe so many times for people. Try it and you won’t be disappointed!
Susan says
How many cookies does this recipe make?
Bobbi says
It depends on how large you make the cookies, but for an average size, it makes about 3 dozen
Susan says
I have another question. Does this recipe use salted or unsalted butter?
Bobbi says
I use unsalted – personal preference.
darren says
They are a hit!!!even though I did them wrong.LoL.it seems sugar is not considered a dry ingredient. after mixing with the flour I picked out by hand to cream with the butter.I also didn’t have time to put in the fridge so I chose the freezer.they flattened a lil but were awesome none the less.thanks for this.so do I have to give you credit if become famous for cookies???
Marcia Thornton says
Just wanted to let you know, I have made the dinner rolls several time. I have been baking for years and years, but bread was just not my thing. These rolls, however, were very simple ( a little time consuming, but oh so worth it). They turn out great every time. I have a question on the chocolate chip cookies. Can I substitute self rising flour for the all purpose flour, baking soda and salt?
Bobbi says
Hi Marcia
I have never tried that substitution but I would just go for it! It can’t hurt to try, right? Let us know how it turns out’
Audrey says
These are seriously the BEST cookies I’ve ever made. My family (and I) love them!!!
Annette Hunter says
You dont say in your directions when to combine the dry ingredients?
Bobbi says
You add it at the end of step 5 – once the butter/sugar mixture is creamy and you’ve added the eggs and vanilla, stir in the dry ingredients. Thanks!
María E. says
OMG!! these cookies are AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE… the taste so delicious,
the only trouble that I got was that some of them got stuck but they’re perfect.
Nicole says
I was so excited to bake these, I baked two batches but only the tops baked? 🙁 the insides and bottoms look wet. Any ideas?
I am using a convection oven since my apartment doesn’t have a standard oven.
Bobbi says
I’m not sure what went wrong – I haven’t used a convection oven in a while. You could try upping the temperature a bit, or cooking longer at a slightly lower temperature
Caroline says
This is the same recipe and same methods I used growing up. You are right though, it makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
