Chocolate Chip Cookies (Easy Soft Chewy )

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The BEST, EASY Soft Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies with a crispy outer edge that are a cookie dream come true.

No cream cheese, cornstarch, apple sauce, or refrigerating dough for days while breaking finger nails waiting for a Chocolate Chip Cookies. Just simple steps and simple ingredients with ONE added ingredient for a soft and chewy experience in LESS THAN 15 minutes.

Done! A classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe!

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

You name it, I tried it. I refrigerated dough for 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours. Folded, beated, whisked. Mixed ingredients while cold, then tried room temperature, then back to cold again.

MORE brown sugar and less white sugar. NO! More WHITE sugar and less brown sugar. TWO eggs…ONE egg plus ONE YOLK. Ugh. PLEASE in desperation — I just wanted a CHEWY SOFT COOKIE.

Why are there so many RULES? Yet, nothing came close to what I was dreaming of in my head. So, I began a mission: make my own.

BEST COOKIES

With all the batches I tried — and learned a few things in the process. The biggest lesson was to STOP COMPLICATING a recipe and just beat, scoop, bake, DONE.

Those crinkly tops ↓ If you look close enough, you can see between those crinkly tops into the soft hearted soul of these cookies.

When you try these (because I know you will), you will have a recipe for the best, the ultimate, the soft, the chewy, the crispy cookie….all in one.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I feel that all of those failed attempts led me to these. Especially the recipes calling for softened butter at room temperature. That’s where it started. I accidentally didn’t do that one morning and chose to cheat my way to ‘soften’ my hard as stone butter the fast way — in the microwave — only to have melted half of it.

A cookie blessing.

The taste of a cookie with melted butter far out weighs a cookie with softened butter. Plus, it’s easier.

Keeping it simple: Check 1 ✔️

Rolling them out in a rustic way, by just grabbing the dough, pressing it into a somewhat ball-type-of-shape, and plonking them on a tray. No cookie scoops or tablespoons or teaspoons or whatever.

Keeping it simple: Check 2 ✔️

Then, my favourite part: baking them for ONLY 10 minutes to ensure the softest, chewy-est Chocolate Chip Cookie, better than any cafe or bakery, without any complicated steps.

WHAT MAKES THESE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES SOFT?

Golden syrup. I also tried coconut syrup, maple syrup and honey. They ALL work. You’re welcome.

Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 12 mins
Total: 32 mins
Serves: 18 - 20 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (4 oz | 125 g) stick butter, melted (not spreadable)
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar (or a granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 with sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup (or coconut syrup, agave, rice malt syrup, maple syrup or honey may be substituted)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose or plain flour (add more as needed -- only up to 1/4 cup extra)*
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips , divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it (half soft and half melted).
  • Beat the butter with the brown and white sugar/s until creamy and pale in colour and sugar has dissolved. Pour in the syrup, vanilla and the egg, and lightly beat until just mixed through.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. If needed, add in one tablespoon of the 'extra' flour at a time until the dough is still soft but easy to handle and firm enough to form one large ball (the dough should not be dry. I only needed 3 tablespoons of the extra flour). 
  • Fold in half of the chocolate chips with your hands.
  • Scoop out 18-20 balls and arrange them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.
  • Bake for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look pale and puffed up, but should be golden around the edges. DO NOT OVER BAKE or your cookies will become hard once they have cooled.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

Notes

*When measuring your flour, make sure you spoon it into your measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. Try not to pack the flour into your measuring cup as this will cause too much flour being packed in and create cakey cookies instead of crispy cookies.
NO substitutions. This is the recipe that I tried and tested and it works. If you try to change an ingredient or add anything not included in the recipe, please do it at your own risk!

    I’ve always been horrible at baking cookies, but I’ve been determined to be able to master cookie-making. I found this recipe quite some time ago but never got around to making it until yesterday. Why didn’t I make these sooner? These were the best cookies I have ever made! I cut the recipe in half in case a disaster happened again, but the only disaster was me not making enough! They’re chewy and soft, and the chocolate chips melt in your mouth. Not to mention they were VERY easy. Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! I will definitely be making these again!

    Made this today, in search for the perfect chewy cookie, but doubled the recipe, so i could also give some to my brother in law.
    The endless factors for chewy cookies, in my research, was driving me crazy and intimidated me.
    Since i doubled it, i used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups plain and I reduced the sugar by 2/3rds and used 1 cup dark brown and 2/3rd cup white sugar. I used maple syrup as well. I wanted quite big ones, so got 18 from doubling it.
    I was very wary of how they would turn out, due to baking batches of different recipes without testing and having them turn out quite small and also harder than desired, so i baked one to start with and although the sweetness was perfect (glad i reduced the sugar!), they turned out softer than i wanted after baking 10 minutes. I baked the rest for 14 minutes and they were the right chewiness for me after cooling down completely!
    My brother in law tried one and said it’s really good and had no complaints, and said my previous ones were flat and harder, so this one is perfect!
    I’ll be keeping this as my cookie recipe and will definitely be making again and again and i’ll also pass the recipe on to my brother, who bakes from time to time.
    Thank you so much!

    I made these yesterday evening (about the 3rd time now) and they are so easy, quick and delicious! I do slightly reduce the sugar content and add more dark chocolate chips, but I am over 50! 🙂 My daughter (19) and my son (21) gobble them up as soon as they’re done! BEST recipe I’ve found by far! Thank you from London!

      I always convert to metrics as I much prefer weighing ingredients.

      125g butter
      170g brown sugar
      50g white sugar
      2 tbsp syrup (malt extract is absolutely fantastic and my syrup of choice), approx 80g
      209g flour
      1/4 tsp bicarb
      1/3 salt
      130g chocolate chips

      Unsalted or u could use the ones with a percentage less than the normal salt added to the butter, but you have to keep in mind how much salt the recipe is asking for u to put in.

    These are the most incredible cookies! I used 1tbsp of honey and 1tbsp of cheap syrup because that’s all I had and WOWWW. I will never make any other chocolate chip cookies again. I think my consistency was off being that my cookies spread out pretty thin but they still turned out so chewy and delicious. THANK YOU!!

    Awesome recipe! I used molasses for the golden syrup and browned the butter first– both add AMAZING taste! I only had milk chocolate and white chocolate chips but this would be fantastic with a 1:1 ratio of semisweet and milk chocolate chips. I wouldn’t tweak anything else. The crispy edges and gooey/chewy middle are PERFECT. I didn’t need to add any additional flour– maybe because the molasses as so thick? Or because it is very dry where I live (ATX).

    These are, hands down, bar none, the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made. Everyone likes their cookie a little different, granted. But if you like chewy, soft, not-overly-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cookies… look no further. These will knock your socks off. Saved for future use for sure. I chopped up a salted dark chocolate bar for my chips and it added the perfect amount of saltiness. Heaven!

    I just made a batch of these and I KID YOU NOT these are…. I don’t even know where to start. Simply euphoric. You just have to try it yourself to understand. The half-melted butter also makes every soooo much easier! However, even though I added more than 1/4 cup of extra flour, my dough was still really soft and couldn’t form one large ball. I decided to just bake it anyway and they still turned out to be AMAZING. I’m not sure if the overly-soft dough was because I added too much honey (I didn’t have golden syrup)? Would someone please let me know how much two tablespoons of syrup weighs in grams?

    Thanks so much for the recipe!

    Haven’t baked in well over a year, but just made these!

    Accidentally added self raising flour instead of plain, and they still worked very well. Probably spread a bit more than I would have liked, but still chewy and delish!

    I added a bit more chocolate, and didn’t divide it. Instead of adding some on top I added Himalayan rock salt to help cut through the sweetness.

    I congratulate you on your dedication through trial and error (and sometimes aided by just a chance of some misguided act of sheer luck of discovery on your journey to your ideal of perfection) and for YOUR recipe which does truly produce wonderful cookies, and so with many successful and ‘go to recipes’ encompasses the successful ingredients of being CLEAR, CONCISE and CORRECTLY UNCOMPLICATED! As a professional chef and pastry chef I understand your philosophy and dedication to the ‘process’ and again I congratulate you as I’m about to embark on my third batch of your cookie dough which I then with minimal handling and working of the dough, rustically roll into a log (secured within baking paper) and freeze, enabling me to slice off and bake a couple (usually 3!) cookies at a time to enjoy with a great British cup of tea……yum, AWESOME!
    Thank you and Happy Baking xx

      I’m not a lover of chocolate. I made these for others. Tried one (the one I broke when putting it on the cooling rack) and it was yummy.

    Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! I’m going to use it to make a delicious batch of cookies very shortly. But just a FYI, that if converting to grams then I think the butter should be 113g not 125g. Living in the UK, I am always confused by recipes that have butter quantities listed in cups or sticks and always convert the amount to grams, so 113g is always the figure I come out with for half a cup or a stick of butter. Keep up the great work and amazing recipes!!

    These are my go-to homemade cookies to bake. I first tried them because of the simple ingredient list, and keep coming back because of the delicious taste. Everytime I make them, the batch is perfect. They’ve been coined the comicbook cookies at work because they look “so perfect” with the chocolate chips placed on top. Thank you for this recipe!

    Great no fail easy recipe! Baked without egg, used egg replacer instead. Also tried double chocolate version with 1/4 cup cocoa instead of flour. Both were a hit! Golden syrup is the game changer. Thank you for sharing ?

    Thank you for creating the best cookie-recipe possible. I – and my friends and family – are forever grateful 🙂

    Oh my goodness! I had friends over and made these while they were here. I was so happy I could scream! Finally! I don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for a few crispy chewy cookies. I can make these fresh at home! I have been wanting a recipe like this for ages! I will be trying melted butter and syrup in other cookie recipes.

    One thar comes to mind is lemon sugar cookies. The recipe I have hardens and makes puffy cookies. I will try to make a chewy version.

    Than You so very much for your har d work and many experiments!

    My new favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe! The only thing that took a bit away from these was that I used maple syrup and I think it made them slightly too sweet. I also missed the step about rolling into a ball but they still came out amazing! They took only 7 mins baking in my convection oven!

    I’m going to attempt your recipe and although I like I bake, I really don’t because nothing turns out good for me and I (and my husband too) am always disappointed. Your recipe seems easy enough but silly question about the butter … do I measure 1/2 cup then melt it? Or is it supposed end up being 1/2 cup after it is melted? Thanks 🙂

    HANDS DOWN the best cookies I’ve ever made. I’ve tried soooo many different recipes and they literally all turn out hard every time. Not these. These stay soft and chewy for as long as they last (which isn’t very long because they’re so good we eat them all so fast lol!). I’ve made this recipe 4 or 5 times and they’ve turned out amazing every time. I also have never had to use the extra flour. Anyways I just want to say thank you for creating this recipe because nothing compares or even comes close to this! THANK YOU!!

Wish I would have had time to read your story on making them, I would have realized how simple it would have been to just bind it together in your hand instead of actually trying to roll them into balls. But soo good! I used honey and followed the recipe to a t, expect the extra flour. I added as I needed.

    For all those asking if you can freeze these – yes! I cooked 6 as directed then split the rest of the mix into about ping-pong sized balls, laid them out in a casserole dish, covered with clingflim and froze. They cook really well from frozen, I just reduced the temp. down to about 160C and cooked for 10-12 mins.

I made this recipe twice now. Once with Tollhouse chocolate chips and they were good but the second batch with a better chocolate- Guittard. Oh so, so good. Go for the better chocolate- you won’t be disappointed!

    Hi, thanks for this recipe. My kids and I prepared it over spring break. We doubled the recipe and used a combination of mini M&Ms and Belgian chocolate. I did not have all the baking materials, so we cooked it on silicone mats. Bottom was nicely golden, but the top of the cookies was almost unchanged.

    Nonetheless, we followed your 10 minute guideline and they came out nice and moist.

    Thanks for the great recipe!

    I happened upon your recipe yesterday while looking for a good chocolate cookie recipe. My boyfriend was bugging me to make some for him.. So I made these cookies last night and just wanted to let you know that these are the best cookies I have ever made… or ever had! My boyfriend went crazy for them and ate almost the entire pan last night. For those that asked if salted or unsalted butter, well I used salted butter and also used both chocolate and butterscotch chips, with real maple syrup.. and followed the recipe to a T. They were chewy salty sweet with chocolate and butterscotch.. amazing texture & flavour. I will save this recipe as a favorite for years. Thanks so much!

    I absolutely never comment on posts after trying them, but I’ve got to tell you that these were the best cookies I’ve ever made/eaten in my life! I followed your recipe exactly, using maple syrup, and they came out so wonderful. I did have to add a couple of minutes to the baking time because my edges weren’t golden brown, but I watched them closely and took them out right away when they were. I baked these less than an hour ago and have passed the recipe along to my sisters and mom. Thank you for sharing!

    Hello,
    I wanted to thank you for this delicious recipe. The cookies tasted yummy and I liked the crispy edges. The only problem ( with this and every single other recipe I have ever tried is that the cookies just don’t come out flat. They are slightly puffy and that leads to the texture of the middle part to taste more puffy than chewy. Others that have had success with this recipe, can you provide feedback on the consistency of the dough? I’m thinking I added too much flour ( my dough was still soft and I added less than a 1/4 cup extra but maybe I shouldn’t have added any extra? How can I get my cookies to turn out flat and chewy and not puffy?

    Just going to join the train here and say that this is the best chewy cookie recipe I’ve found. They’re deep in flavor and aroma without punching your nose with maple’s smell…it’s a very subtle tone of maple.

    This recipe is perfect the way it is, but I got brave and built on it with fabulous results. I now double the recipe and use 1 cup of Dark Chocolate Chips, 1 cup of Peanut Butter Chips, 1 Cup of chopped salted peanuts. Then omit the salt called for in the recipe. (I also use homemade vanilla) The only problem is…..I can’t stop eating these cookies because they are so good!

    Is it necessary to use syrup? I’m going to be making them for the first time.

    I don’t usually write reviews but these cookies are AWESOME! I used pure honey instead of the syrup and it worked just fine. I must have made my cookies on the smaller side because I ended up with about 30, and did not use any extra flour. Cooked them for 9-10 minutes to compensate.

    So simple, so classic. Thanks for sharing!

    First time replying to a recipe blog because oh my goodness…..you’re in such trouble, these cookies turned out so well my kids ate the last of them before breakfast (unknown to me at the time) we have literally gotten through a doubled up batch since Saturday! This is my go to cookie recipe from here on out. Thank you on perfecting the ultimate cookie ??

    Thanks for this. I tried them this weekend and they worked out better than I’d hoped. They didn’t last long so I think they passed the taste test.

    I’m in the UK and don’t have cups so wondered if you had a metric equivalent measurements?

      You can use an online converter for measurements. Type something like cups to ML. Or cups to grams or whatever you need. I have also done F to C when needed. Hope this helps!

    Hi Katrina, this cookies are so incredibly yummy! I was wondering about freezing them? Have you had success freezing them after baking? Or is it better to freeze them before you cook them? Thanks so much for the only non-cake like recipe on the internet, I swear 🙂

    Although a fantastic looking cookie, they didn’t wow me for taste. They didn’t seem to have the texture I was expecting. Perhaps I just didn’t get the right consistency with the additional flour.

    Okay i have to admit that these cookies are the best, but i have tiny problem that when i baked my cookies for 11 mins they looked that they still need more minutes and the edges were not gold enought to take them out, so i leaved them for 18 minutes which i guess what made my chocolate chıps not melty as the pics. So please can you suggest me a sloution ?

    FINALLY! As the youngest in my family, I always try to get a recipe to really wow everyone else. Time after time I have gotten recipes that say they promise soft and fluffy cookies, but definitely do not measure up. But these cookies were outstanding! My entire family loved these cookies and couldn’t believe how great they turned out. Very soft and super sweet. Thank you so much for this one! Will definitely be trying it again.

    I veganized this by substituting butter with coconut oil, and 3 tbsp chickpea brine for 1 egg. I also used vegan chocolate chips. They turned out amazing! You definitely can’t taste the chickpeas, by the way. Thank you for this recipe!

    Im almost out of light brown sugar do you think that using dark brown sugar will make much of a diffrence. I plan on making these because my dad always wants cookies that are soft but every time I make them they either don’t spread during baking or end up burning the bottom. Do you know how I can make sure they spread on their own. Thanks

    Hi Karina! Love this recipe will be giving it a go at the end of the week. Do you know roughly how big the 18-20 dough balls need to be? That has always been my biggest issue when baking cookies, I make them far too big/put too many on one tray and they end up all blending together 🙁

    Thanks so much!

    Reply
    • Karina says

      June 06, 2016 at 9:19 am

      Hi Lilli! About 1 tablespoons worth 🙂 You can make them a little bigger just make sure you use two baking trays and space them out. These don’t spread extremely wide which is a good thing!
