The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

"To our family this is the best recipe we have ever come across for Chocolate Chip cookies and we have tried tons. Give it a try, see what you think! It makes quite a lot, but it is no problem for our family.*The key to make these exceptional cookies can be two things 1. don't pack the flour when scooping it, use a light hand and/or 2. use half all-purpose flour and half pastry flour (once I tried this method-"so good" I won't go back to all-purpose unless I'm out of pastry flour..it really makes for an exceptional cookie!)"

  1. Made these last week, and they are outstanding! It does make a lot, but somehow there are only a handful left in my freezer...The only change I made to the recipe was to add more chocolate chips. 12 ounces just didn't seem like enough for all of that dough, so I upped it to 20 ounces and they came out beautifully! Thank you for posting my new favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!
     
  2. Loved it. Very good recipe. Baked this last Wednesday which was a local holiday in Sao Paulo and brought a big tupperware full of cookies to the office. Everyone really loved it, cookies were gone very fast.
     
  3. Two thumbs way up! I have tried sooo many chocolate chip cookie recipes and this is by far the best! Crispy edges...soft middles...yum, Yum, YUM!!!!
     
  4. These are great! Definitely the go to for choco chip puffy, chewy goodness! I'd love to add pecans, no idea how much - will figure it out. Did the freezing thing too, so now we can have cookies throughout, Thanks for sharing!
     
  5. LOVE the recipe! Wonderful, soft, chewy cookie! Because it makes so much dough, I took a tablespoon size amount and made as many balls as I could... making sure not to play with the dough too much. Layed them out on two cookie sheets, froze for about 40 mins until hard and divided them into sandwich bags, then put them in a large ziplock. Making sure to push all the air out. They freeze up beautifully and bake up as if I made the dough that day! Great recipe! Thanks!
