Chocolate chip cookies with crisp edges and a soft and chewy center. These cookies take less than 30 minutes from start to finish!
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie of all time. I’ve tried making them with dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and white chocolate. Milk chocolate chip cookies will forever be my favorite! Double chocolate cookies are a close second although if you love dark chocolate you may prefer those.
These chocolate chip cookies come out gooey out of the oven but they set very nicely. The best part about this chocolate chip cookie recipe? You most likely have all the ingredients on hand. No fancy ingredients required. This recipe was one of the first recipes I posted on my Youtube Channel. After all these years, it’s still my favorite cookie recipe and I wouldn’t change anything about it.

- They’re crispy around the edges but soft and chewy in the center.
