My Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is out of this world, but sometimes you have a chocolate chip cookie craving that just can’t wait! In come these fantastic cookies that are not only easy, but they’re ready in no time flat! Nothing beats an ooey-gooey cookie fresh from the oven!

Why This Recipe Works

  • Brown sugar, adds flavor, cuts sweetness, and its high moisture produces a soft, chewy cookie.
  • Bread flour keeps the cookies from flattening and allows baking without chilling the dough.
  • Real butter adds a buttery richness that’s hard to beat. 

My Secret to Quick and Easy Cookies

Due to the high amount of fat in the dough, most cookies need to be chilled before baking to keep them from spreading and flattening out. I cut this process by using bread flour in the recipe. A little bread flour with higher protein levels helps stabilize the cookie and reduce the spread. This allows the dough to go straight from the bowl to the oven without chilling.

Step by Step Instructions

Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.

Pour in the melted butter.

Add the eggs. Mix until combined.

Mix until the dough and chocolate chips are fully combined.

Using an ice cream scoop put mounds of dough evenly spaced onto a baking sheet.

I used a #20 scoop which holds 3 tablespoons/1.5 oz/ 45ml. See the ‘equipment’ section for where to get one).

Bake until golden.

Erren’s Top Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients. Using the eggs and melted butter at room temperature before you begin will allow them to combine easier with the dry ingredients, creating a well-combined dough.
  • Stir by hand to avoid overmixing which can make a tough cookie.
  • Space the dough out leaving enough space on the pan. place about 2 inches apart, this will prevent the cookies from spreading into each other when baking.
  • Don’t over-bake your cookies.  When chocolate chip cookies come out of the oven, they should be slightly underdone in the middle.  They’ll finish baking with the residue heat.

Equipment

To make the cookies a uniform size, I use a #20 scoop that holds 3 tablespoons/1.5 oz/ 45ml. See the useful links below to buy one of your own.
