The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (EVER!)

Okay, okay. I know you probably don’t need another chocolate chip cookie recipe. But you’ll just have to trust me when I say your life is not complete until you’ve tried THIS CCC recipe. It yields soft, chewy, gooey, and extra extra chocolatey chocolate chip cookies - I mean, does it get better than that?

I think we can all agree that chocolate chip cookies are just one of those things that everybody loves. EVERYBODY. Whenever a big food blogger posts an aesthetic picture of chocolate chip cookies on Instagram, it goes viral. When you bring a batch of chocolate chip cookies to a gathering, they disappear within minutes. Heck, even Kourtney Kardashian has a chocolate chip cookie recipe. And if Kourtney Kardashian approves, then I think the rest is quite self-explanatory.

I’m so excited to share my take on this classic cookie! I can promise you. These chocolate-chip cookies are not too sweet, have bit of rich caramelly molasses muskiness. The sharpness of the chocolate combined with the perfectly crisp edges and soft centers are bound to make you swoon.

Ingredients for the very best classic chocolate chip cookies:

Unsalted Butter — Using unsalted butter means that you can fully control the amount of salt going into your cookies.

Brown Sugar — For sweetness, moisture and that classic CCC flavour!

White Sugar — Additional sweetness.

Eggs — The eggs bring the dough together.

Vanilla Extract — Usually I skimp on vanilla if it's not necessary because it's very expensive, but don't try and omit it in this recipe! It elevates the flavour of the cookie!

Table Syrup (the secret ingredient) — Makes the cookies extra soft and super chewy!

Flour — Gives the cookies structure and makes sure they don't spread out and turn flat.

Baking powder and soda - leavening agents which helps the cookies rise and spread

Chocolate Chunks — chocolate chunks don't have as many stabilizers as chocolate chips, which makes it easier for them to melt and make those super gooey chocolate puddles

Chocolate Chips — Chocolate chips are more "stable" or solidify quicker than chocolate chunks, which contrasts very nicely with the softer, meltiness of the chocolate chunks.

Salt — Cookies need salt! Without salt, the cookies will be too sweet.

Tips for the best classic chocolate chip cookies

• Chill your cookie dough for 24 hours! This allows the butter and sugar to marinate. This will allow a caramel-like, deeper, rich flavour to develop. Be careful if you choose to chill the dough longer than 24 hours, because the cookie dough may dry out.

• Don't overmix - repeat after me, overmixing will absolutely ruin a chocolate chip cookie. Overmixing leads to gluten development and cause the cookies to turn tough.
