When I crave chocolate, I usually crave Chocolate Chip Cookies. So, I’ve made a lot of Chocolate Chip cookies in my days and I have never found one that I can say are the best. Until now! Friends, you have to try this recipe – they will be THE BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies you’ll try. I promise you’ll love them!
I was skeptical when I first set out to make these cookies because I didn’t want to be disappointed. Even though they would get eaten in my house, I wanted a cookie that would wow me. For chocolate chip cookies I like to use milk chocolate chips, because that’s what I like, but you can use any kind of chocolate you want. I used Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Morsels in these ones because I didn’t have any chips left. I also made these bigger than suggested and I told my husband that maybe next time I should make them smaller. He quickly responded by saying “Why? How many did you eat today? Four? If you made them smaller you would just end up eating 8 of them!” Good point Honey!
I got this recipe from my friend (well, I call her my friend!) Sally, over at Sally’s Baking Addiction. My Mixed Berry Sweet Rolls were from her as well and they turned out amazing! Since she tests her recipes to perfection I knew I probably couldn’t go wrong with these. This recipe will now be my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Finally, my quest is over! Thanks Sally!

Hi Liz.. thanks so much for coming to party at Super Saturday! I hope you’ll come back again next week! xoxo~ Ruthie
These look great. I like milk chocolate in my cookies as well. I guess I just like milk chocolate in anything. Not a dark chocolate fan! Cornstarch in cookies makes them so soft! Your cookies look baked to perfection. Thick, chewy and golden brown! I’ll take 8 big ones please;)
I can definitely make 8 of them for you. Sending them, on the other, hand might be a problem!
Thanks for stopping by – I checked out your blog too. Love your recipes! I’m a new fan and follower, however your link to Twitter didn’t work. You can find me there at and I’ll follow you back! Take care.
I am definitely going to have to try these! Yum…

You’ll love them Kate! I know people are skeptical when they see ‘THE BEST’ labeled on something but (for me, anyways) they are! Let me know if you get around to making them!
SO pretty. I looooove chocolate chip cookies and you can’t go wrong with milk chocolate chips!
Thanks Dorothy! Milk chocolate chips are just as good eaten by the handful! Oops, did I just say that out loud?!
This is my very favorite cookie recipe.
I’m SO glad you made them Liz! I swear by the cornstarch and the higher ratio of brown sugar to white. And all of the butter. My search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie has ended!
Thanks Sally! I can’t wait to make another batch soon. I have to prove to everyone that they will love them just as much as I do!
so yummy! Thanks for sharing at Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
I cannot wait to make these cookies to find out why you call them THE BEST! Have a great day.
