Home baked chocolate chip cookie can be a luxurious treat. They are super easy to make, stores well and tastes much better than packaged ones. Eat alone or dunk in milk, you gotta try both. Its important to use good quality chocolate chips. I have used Hershey’s semi sweet variety. Give this super easy recipe of chocolate chip cookies a try.
Chocolate chip cookies are everyone’s favorite and they come in variety of textures. Thick, thin, chewy, cakey, depending upon the ingredients ratio, butter temperature, leavening agents etc. The ones here are soft and cake like with amazing flavor. They are so easy that you can involve your kids in making them and they can help in every step. Did I tell you, this is one of the most visited recipes on my blog and has most number of comments. Worth a try.
- Butter 1/2 cup
- Light brown sugar 1/2 cup
- Super fine sugar 1/4 cup
- Egg 1
- Baking powder 1 tsp
- Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp
- Flour 1 1/2 cup
- Semi sweet chocolate chips 3/4 cup
- Beat butter and both sugars with hand whisker or electric beater.
- Add in egg and vanilla, continue beating.
- Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough is formed. Do not overmix.
- Add in chocolate chips.
- Make small balls. If mixture is very soft, simply drop in tea spoon full on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased baking tray.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before devouring.
- *These are soft pillow like cookies in contrast to thick chewy ones.
Those are the perfect shaped cookies! I will definitely have to try this recipe out. I love any type of chocolate chip cookie!
thanks Alicia for making first ever comment of my first blog first post 🙂
Absolutely yummmyyyyyyyyy….are they soft or crunchy?…how can I have soft and chewy cookies?
they are crisp outside, chewy inside 🙂
Hey Nadia!
Can we use only fine white sugar instead of using brown sugar? If yes, then what should be the total quantity of sugar?
hi canya, sorry for late reply, yes u can all white in same proportion, just a little less (minus 2 tbsp e.g)
Hey Nadia!
I tried these cookies yesterday and they turned out awesome! Really good… thanks for sharing such nice recipes with us.
I want to add one thing. If its possible for you, please also add the baking time and temperature in centigrades. Actually, I have an electric oven with just the temperature knobs in it so I'm not sure how to convert the gas mark into that… The cookies I baked at 180C for 15-20 minutes and it was just the right temperature!
Thanks once again. Happy baking! 🙂

This really is the best recipe ever. this is the exact same one i always use (on my blog anickh.blogspot.com) except i use crisco not butter and i bake at 350 for 9 min. the flour/butter/sugar ratio is absolutely perfect for making big fat chewy cookies.
Great site, Nadia! I just discovered your blog few days ago. I tried two of your recipes, the apple crisp and the veggie pot pie with chicken. It turned out great, especially my kids loved it. I will definitely try rest of your recipes and let you know.
Seema
thanque, at last i got a perfect method to make chocolate chip cookies.phew… let me try it out 🙂
hi,could i know what kind of butter are u using'
salted or unsalted ?
Generally unsalted kind is used in baking unless otherwise stated
Can olive spread b used,nadia? Becoz I want these cookies 2 b excellent!!! 🙂 xx
not sure dear
I can answer that question. Do not use olive spread. It will change the taste of your cookie and not in a good way.
nice your site thanks for sharing love you all teme good work keep it up

These cookies are great! I love baking them with the girls I look after. Everyone loves it when I give them as a gift. Soooo yummy!
🙂 thanks anonymous
what should i preheat (tempature)????
350 f
Mine are in the oven smelling fine. They are golden at the minute but still soft
how many does this make?
they go crisper when cooled, may be you wanna bake them a lil longer, makes 12 medium sized cookies
How long should you wait for the oven to preheat? Like, how long should it prheat?
typically it takes as long as you are making the cookies.
Hi – My little brother and I tried this recipe, only we used margarine and since we didn't have chocolate chips we used raisins and coconut, it worked great!
great, coconut sounds yum
For me, it's better if you use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper. But when you use aluminum foil, be sure to grease the shiny side.
thanks for the tip
yummy love these cookies!!!!!
nicole nsw

wud it b possible for u to re-organize ur web site. it is user friendly in following the procedures but the item/contents are not listed properly and it is hard to see all items at a glance and select required item.
ur efforts wud b highly appreciated.
hi anonymous, yes its in the pipeline, and i will do it as soon as time allows.Thanks
omg these cookies r amazing my whole family loves them and this is the only recipy i use when i want to make cookies. these cookies r yum and my fave!!!
these cookies are perfect in size and everything i am baking these for my cousins and they are like wow these are the best !
hi can i use margarine instead of butter?
Yes ,I used margarine and my cookies turn out amazing !""
mine came out non cooked inside and too brown on the bottom…why is that?
oven too hot, try adjusting your oven temp by an oven thermometer and adjusting the rack position and rotating the tray half way through baking
thanks for the recipe they turned out amazing 🙂
i am glad:)
Thenk you so much! I am usually too lazy to make cookies from scratch (I often use mixes,) and have finally found a fast easy- and most importantly delicious- cookie recipe!

Hi Nadia,
This is a delicious cookie. The only change I made was using milk chocolate chips and only about a 1/3 cup as that is all i had. Not very sweet but that's how I like it. Thank you!
great to know Anonymous 🙂
Hi Nadia, I'm very new to baking. When you say 1/2 cup. May i know how big is the cup? How many grams will that be?
the standard tea cup or measuring cup
what are you supposed to preheat it to?
gas mark 5, 350F
I'm a kid, and this worked out great!!!
THANKSSSSSSS!!!!!
great 🙂
