Chocolate chip cookies are classic treats you reach for year-round—and these homemade chocolate chip cookies are our top-searched recipe! Made and enjoyed by thousands of people over the years.This recipe was introduced on a 1939 Betty Crocker™ radio program. It later appeared in the first 1950 printing of the Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook. Betty has fine-tuned this chocolate chip cookies recipe to perfection. Back in the ‘50s, the recipe called for shortening, as it was less expensive than butter and could be stored longer. The recipe was switched to margarine (when margarine was the most popular option). Since then, we’ve learned that there is no substitute for real butter for the best flavor—period.These cookies have been optimized for over 75 years into the best cookies you can sink your teeth into, and we think you’ll agree. &nbsp;

homemade chocolate chip cookies

These homemade chocolate chip cookies are top-rated. We’ll share all the tips you need for making the best chocolate chip cookie recipe—ever.

Homemade chocolate chip cookies turn out best when baked one sheet at a time on the middle oven rack.

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Make sure to leave 2 inches of space around the dropped dough so that the cookies won’t bump into each other as they spread.

For crispier cookies, reduce the flour from 2 1/4 cups to 2 cups.&nbsp;

We’ve spent countless hours testing and used hundreds of bags of chocolate chips over the years to make this recipe. The main ingredients for chocolate chip cookies are simple.Flour: Gold Medal™ All Purpose Flour is the go-to choice for the right balance of chewiness to tenderness. It’s the most used type of flour in baking and cooking.Sugar: We call for both granulated sugar and brown sugar. Granulated sugar brings sweetness and tenderness to the cookies, while brown sugar adds to the rich, buttery flavor as well as contributing to the chewiness.Egg: Over the years we’ve gone up and down on eggs. They contribute to the height of the cookies as well as the texture. We landed on one egg to create the best cookie shape and texture.Chocolate Chips: We’re partial to semisweet chocolate chips for their iconic, decadent taste.Butter: We use salted butter since it is more readily available and stays fresh longer. This recipe calls for softened butter. To soften, leave on your counter until your finger makes an imprint.Baking Soda: Gives the cookies lift.Vanilla: Brings the flavors together. &nbsp;Optional Nuts: For a layer of flavor and crunch. Our favorites are walnuts or pecans.

Recipe Ingredients

Cookie Sheet: Through over 75 years of baking cookies, we've found that the best cookie sheet has a classic shiny finish, which reflects heat more evenly, resulting in cookies that bake uniformly. It's helpful to have at least two cookie sheets, so one can be in the oven while you're scooping the next batch.Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop helps create more uniform cookies. We suggest using one that is about 1 3/4-inches in diameter (#40 size).&nbsp;Other Cookware You’ll Need: Mixing bowl, dry measuring cups, measuring spoons, electric mixer or stand mixer, cooling rack.

Cookware You’ll Need 

Here’s how to make chocolate chip cookies you’ll be proud to serve.<h3>1. Oven Prep&nbsp;</h3>Place your rack in the center of the oven; this is the best place to bake cookies because the heat circulates most evenly throughout the oven.<h3>2. Mix Wet Ingredients&nbsp;</h3>To get the best softened butter, leave it on the counter until your finger leaves an imprint. Once softened (not melted), beat the butter and sugars into a light, fluffy mixture. It’s better to have your butter on the cooler side than overly softened, so the cookies don’t spread too much. Then, beat in the egg and vanilla until completely blended.<h3>3. Stir in Dry Ingredients</h3>Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until they just disappear into the dough. Finally, add the chocolate chips (and optional nuts) last to prevent overmixing, which can lead to tough cookies.<h3>4. Scoop and Bake</h3>Using a cookie scoop (or measuring tablespoon), scoop the dough, forming about a 1 3/4-inch dough ball. Bake one cookie sheet at a time. Check cookies after 10 minutes to see if they are golden brown around the edges and just shy of being completely baked in the center. If needed, bake a few minutes longer. Don’t overbake if you want a softer cookie.<h3>5. Cool and Eat</h3>Cool cookies on the cookie sheet for three minutes, then move them to a cooling rack. This allows them to set up a bit before removing, resulting in perfect chewy centers and crispy edges.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

With a quick change or two (we love hearing your suggestions), you can create chewy chocolate chip cookies with a new flavor or texture.Swap Flour: For a nutty flavor, substitute 3/4 cup whole wheat flour for 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Or for an extra-chewy cookie, swap 1 cup bread flour for 1 cup all-purpose flour.Change Chips: Use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, butterscotch, or even white chips instead of the semisweet chips. Or use a combination. Like your cookies without chips?

This will be my ‘go-to’ chocolate chip cookie recipe!!”With over 1800 reviews, this easy chocolate chip cookies recipe is our most popular recipe. Fans say the recipe consistently produces delicious results and is always a hit. The dough bakes up into cookies that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Many reviewers mention the delicious flavor and texture of these cookies, saying they are "absolutely yummy" and "the best chocolate chip cookies ever."Some users have been making this recipe for decades because of its reliability and timeless appeal, passing the recipe down to younger generations. Now that’s a cookie recipe to hang onto!&nbsp;

Why Betty Users Love This Recipe

Too Little Flour: Measuring accurately is a key. Not using enough flour in your cookie dough can result in flat cookies. Stir up the flour and then spoon it into your measuring cup. Level it off the top using the flat-edge of a knife.Melted Butter: If the butter is melted, even a little, it can make your cookies flatter. Use only butter that’s been softened enough that it will leave an imprint when you press your finger tip lightly into it. Soften butter on the counter or unwrap it and place on a microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on Very-Low (20%) for up to 1 minute. Check it every 5 seconds, turning the stick over if one side is softening faster than the others.Hot Cookie Sheet: Cool the cookie sheet completely before reusing it. A warm cookie sheet can cause the cookie dough to start spreading too quickly.&nbsp;

Why are my chocolate chip cookies flat?

Too Much Flour: We found that if you stir up the flour and spoon it into the measuring cup (verses dipping the measuring cup into the flour) and leveling it off with the straight edge of a knife, you’ll have successful results.Wrong Size Egg: We test with large eggs because that’s what most people buy. If you use a smaller egg, there won’t be enough liquid to properly hydrate the flour and other ingredients.To fix stiff cookie dough, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time, until the dough becomes pliable.

Why is my dough too stiff and won’t spread in the oven?

The best way to keep your cookies soft is to store them in an airtight food-storage bag at room temperature. Homemade chocolate chip cookies will last for a few days when stored properly on the counter.

How do I keep chocolate chip cookies soft?

Using just granulated sugar won’t produce the same results for texture or flavor. The cookies will be crisper and taste more like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips. You can use whatever type of brown sugar you have on hand—either light or dark brown sugar. You can make your own brown sugar by mixing 1 cup granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons molasses. This will yield 1 cup brown sugar.

Chocolate that is higher in cacao content is more richly flavored. Bars are often labeled with a percentage, such as 45, 60 or 70 percent cacao, which refers to the amount of the bar that is made of cacao solids (as opposed to milk, sugar or other ingredients). If possible, you should test out some varieties to see which best suits your tastes.

What is cacao? It’s a couple of things! First, it’s the name of the tree that grows the fruit pods from which cacao beans are extracted. Second, it’s also the name used for the seeds themselves, from which cocoa, cocoa butter and chocolate are made.

You can add your own touch to these Chocolate Truffles by sprinkling them with nuts or chopped candy or drizzling melted white vanilla baking chips on top. Serving truffles with a variety of different looks and finishes makes for a beautiful and enticing presentation!
