  • They’ll fill your home with the most delicious cookie aroma.
  • All the ingredients are 100% vegetarian.

What ingredients do I need?

You’ll need all the ingredients shown in the photograph below.

Ingredients needed brown sugar, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, chocolate chips, flour, vanilla extract, eggs, and butter.

Always a resounding success, made in less than 20 minutes and eaten in half of that time! Make more than you think you need!

What are the best chocolate chips to use?

To make the best chocolate chip cookies, you need to put the best chocolate chips in them!

We use semi sweet chocolate chips and advise you to buy the best quality that you can afford.

Small chocolate chunks would also work very well.

What type of butter do I use?

We’ve chosen to use unsalted butter in this recipe, we add salt by hand, as we like to be in control of the quantities.

If salted butter was the only butter you had, then that’s fine, use it.

But make sure you adjust the added salt in the recipe.

We soften our butter rather than use melted butter.

Do I need to chill the cookie dough?

No, you don’t.

The beauty of this recipe is that the dough doesn’t need any chilling at all.

This means you can have chocolate chip cookies on your table in no time!

What equipment do I need to make cookies?

The best way to make cookies is by using either a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer.

They make light work of mixing the ingredients.

However, you can use a good old fashioned wooden spoon.

Yes, it’ll take more effort, but you can certainly make them with it!

Can I freeze this cookie dough?

Yes, you can!

We recommend freezing in portions, this way you can grab however many cookies as you want easily.

Freeze them in these amazing silicone ice cube trays and, once frozen, they pop out easily and you can transfer them to a freezer bag.

We use them for all kinds of different portion freezing such as pesto and ginger garlic paste.

This saves the individual cookie dough from freezing together.

Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Mix it up
    Try using white chocolate chips, nuts, M&M’s, or anything you enjoy!
  • Flour
    Make sure you measure the flour correctly, too much flour will make dry cookies and you’ll find that they don’t spread.
  • Make sure they don’t stick!
    We love to put a silicone sheet on the cookie sheet, you can cut them to size, the cookies don’t stick, and you can wash them and reuse them!
  • Middle shelf
    You’ll find you get better results if you bake cookies on the middle oven shelf.
  • Don’t overcook!
    It’s crucial to remove your cookies from the oven when you see them start to turn brown, you may think they are not cooked – but they are!
  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze in individual portions in silicone ice cube trays.
