The Best Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – An easy chocolate chip cookie recipe made in minutes. These are the best homemade chocolate chip cookies ever!
There’s nothing better than chocolate chip cookies from scratch! A warm, fresh chocolate chip cookie with a big glass of milk is comfort food at it’s finest.
I’ve tried a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes over the years. I keep finding that many of the recipes have at least one long wait time. They require you to either wait a couple of hours to bring the butter and eggs to room temperature, or wait for the dough to chill in the refrigerator for an hour. Sometimes both.
I’m too impatient! 🙂 I want to be able to relax on my couch and suddenly decide I need some homemade, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Then, have them baking in the oven in just a few minutes!

Always my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Easy to follow recipe and do take them out of the oven when the edges are just starting to brown if you like a softer center. I have made over 2,000 of these cookies for my grandson’s baseball games. I make a triple batch for every 2-day tournament and bring about 300 to each game for the boys, parents and grandparents. Every cookie is always eaten. I have made the dough early and refrigerated it and frozen it. Still works great every time. I have even frozen the finished cookie in small batches for us to eat later. Just flash freeze the cookie first, so they don’t stick together when taken out of the freezer.
Delicious! I added walnuts! I didn’t follow the sugar and brown sugar measurements. I didn’t want the cookie to be too sweet.
Cookies are delicious, I’m in south Texas humidity is very high. Had to cook mine for 14 minutes. Which I’m use to adjusting cooking time on recipes I get on line. I set timer for time specified and watch close till done. But great recipe.
I’ve made this recipe several times and it’s always a hit. I’ve substituted triple filtered coconut oil for the butter for those who need that and it still tastes amazing!
This is the best cookies I have ever tasted. Pure heaven. The only thing I noticed was before I baked it, it was really chunky and not liquidy at all like in your videos. It may just be the product I use, cause I am pretty sure I did everything right.
So easy and quick and delicious.. Now this is my favorite chocolate chip cookie. I am now retired after owning a cooking school for many years.
Absolutely delicious. Followed recipe exactly. Nice fat, cookies, soft in the middle, a little crisp around the edges. Wanted to post a photo, but no option.
