These Chocolate Chip Cookies are seriously the best!! Thick, chewy, and perfectly golden brown, once you try them, your search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie will be over. Guaranteed!
Have you ever gone on a search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie? I feel like I’ve been on one for years! Not even kidding. Because if there’s one thing that can win people over, and put smiles on faces, and make everything better….it’s a really good chocolate chip cookie.
My first experience of winning people over with cookies? Way back when I was in 6th grade. I made cookies for my birthday party….and they turned out amazing. Which was especially important because this wasn’t just any birthday party. It was a birthday sleepover, and all the “popular” girls (who I had just become friends with) were there.
I asked my mom if we could get special snacks and drinks and do a fashion show and stay up all night. And other than staying up all night, I’m pretty sure my mom said yes to all of it. Probably because she knew how nervous I was, and how important it felt, and how much I wanted everything to be “just right”. Well, everything was just right….especially the cookies. And I was one happy 6th grader.
But here’s the thing. I have never since that oh-so-important birthday party been able to recreate those perfect chocolate chip cookies. That is, until now. These cookies are exactly like the ones that won over the popular crowd….except better. Because they’re made with browned butter! And browned butter makes ALL the difference.
They’re crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, thick, buttery, and packed with delicious flavor. In other words, they’re the BEST chocolate cookies ever!!! Perfect for winning people over, putting smiles on faces, and making everything better.

Never made cookies with butter in a skillet but they sound like the chewy kind. Gonna try.

The best chocolate chip cookies are made with real chocolate. Buy some good quality bitter or semi sweet chocolate and chop it up. Use two kinds for an even better result. The smallest bits infuse the cookies and the bigger pieces are puddles of chocolate goodness. Vary the size of the pieces and use more than you’d think reasonable if you love chocolate.
Let the dough sit overnight in your fridge, make cookie size balls, bake some and freeze the rest in balled up dough form. Whenever you want a few cookies bake them. You only need to add a couple of minutes to the baking time.

Alas, mine were a total bust. I’m not sure how I messed up. I thought I carefully measured all the ingredients, but the execution was woefully wanting. I knew when I got to the adding the chocolate chips stage that I was in trouble, as most melted before I finished folding and before refrigeration i don’t know what the texture of the dough was supposed to end up like, but mine, even after more than 30 minutes in the fridge, was more a better the finished product just spread across the cookie sheet and didn’t bother even trying to rise. I’m not as proficient a baker as I’d like to be, so I’m sure that explains it. I’m not rating this recipe, as I’m sure I didn’t give it a decent chance. Good luck to others.

Hi! One of my relatives is newly diagnosed with Celiac disease.
Have you tried baking with “Cup for Cup” gluten free flower? Wondering if there is a difference in the texture or any other distinction. Since you bake so much, would love to know what you think.
Cathy Trochelman says
I haven’t tried these with gluten free flour….sorry!
Roxy says
Do you recommend baking these in a confection oven? I like to do three pans at a time.
Christine says
I loved your recipe, but how do I convert your measurements to grams? Thank you
