How To Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Making homemade cookies is quite simple. This recipe is straightforward, and once you make these cookies, you’ll want to keep this recipe forever. Keep in mind, our printable recipe card is located at the bottom. But first, let’s run through our steps so you’ll know what’s involved before you start.

Gather all the Ingredients.
Grab one large mixing bowl, and whisk or blend all the ingredients.
Fold in the chocolate chips and use a teaspoon to drop the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet.
Then bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow the cookies to slightly cool.

Recipe Tips…

Make-Ahead: Yes, you can make and chill the cookie dough if you prefer. Then scoop the dough, transfer it to a cookie sheet, and bake!
How to Keep Them Chewy? 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.
Baking Tip: It is best to always keep an eye on them while baking, so as not to overbake 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 cookies.
Also, it is 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.
We prefer to use Dark Chocolate Morsels. They are slightly larger than regular chocolate chips. Plus, they offer a richer, more chocolate flavor than any other brand of chocolate chips.
