Reasons to LOVE this Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe…

• Quality ingredients are what make these favorite chocolate chip cookies so good. 

• The ingredients are so simple, yet the overall result is always amazingly chewy with a decadent chocolate taste in every bite.

• When you need a quick, easy, and delicious treat, this is it! 

• Whipped up in one bowl, these cookies include 1 stick of butter, 1 egg, 1 cup of brown sugar, vanilla extract, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and lots of dark chocolate morsels.
• You can Make-Ahead, and chill the cookie dough. Then scoop the dough, transfer to a cookie sheet and bake!

• The dark chocolate morsels used in this recipe is what makes these cookies even more decadent with every bite!  They are slightly larger in size than regular chocolate chips, but they have a richer, more chocolate flavor than any other chocolate chips on the shelf.

Nothing beats homemade chewy chocolate chip cookies!

For these cool rainy days, these homemade chewy chocolate chip cookies are all you need to cozy up on your favorite chair and enjoy them with a great cup of coffee, a cup of tea, or a glass of milk!

Make them small (as I did here) or make them larger.  Either way, they make the perfect treat.  

How Do These Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Stay Chewy for Days?

• One tip I know always works, is to store these cookies in a sealed plastic container, before they cool completely.  You have to store them while they are still warm,  not hot – just warm enough to handle them.

• It’s a good idea to line the bottom of the container with a sheet of wax paper to protect the cookies from getting stuck on the bottom of the container.

• Another good tip is to always keep an eye on them while baking,  not to over bake them.  This will ensure a chewy texture to the cookie; so it’s always a good idea to set your timer to 8 minutes for smaller cookies, and 10 to 12 minutes for larger-size cookies.

Now Let’s Make these cookies!

• 1+ 1/4 cups Nestle Toll House Dark Chocolate Morsels

Instructions

5. Bake for 8 minutes for smaller cookies, and 10 to 12 minutes for the larger size. Cookies will be golden and brown around the edges.

They will stay fresh and chewy for days.
6. Yields: about 3 dozen

Notes

The dark chocolate morsels are slightly larger in size; therefore, 1 cup of dark chocolate morsels will be sufficient in this recipe. If you choose to use semi-sweet chocolate chips or mini chips you will need 1 + 1/2 cups.
