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!
What makes this the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?
- Texture: The cookies are soft in the middle and chewy around the edges.
- Flavor: They have a sweet, buttery, toffy-like cookie flavor, loaded with chocolate chips.
- Quick & Easy to make: No bringing the ingredients to room temperature. No chilling the dough. The recipe can easily be whisked together, instead of using a mixer. And, it’s a ONE BOWL recipe.

Calories 164 kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter -melted*
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (a 12 oz. bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until no dry flour remains.
Add the chocolate chips. Stir until well incorporated.
Scoop out 1 ½ tablespoon size balls (a #40 scoop) of the batter on a baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. SIZE MATTERS.**
Bake for 10 minutes. The center should be soft and the edges should barely be golden. DO NOT OVER BAKE.
Cool 3-4 minutes on the cookie sheet. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
*I melt the butter in the large microwave safe mixing bowl that I make the cookie dough in so it truly stays a one bowl recipe.
**The cook time is based on using 1 ½ level tablespoons (from a #40 scoop) of dough in the shape of a scoop (or ball) for each cookie. If the amount of dough is different, the baking time will be off. Use a #40 scoop and scrape it up the side of the bowl to easily level off the dough. Or, use 1 ½ level tablespoons of dough and roll the dough into a ball.
I highly recommend using a #40 scoop for this. It makes the cookie making process so fast and easy.

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!Reply
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.Reply
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.Thanks, Amanda for this keeper chocolate chip cookie recipe!🍪

I would like to try this recipe but I live at elevation of 8500 feet and every cookie I try to make does not come out well. Can you give me the adjusted recipe for this elevation.
