What makes these the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies?

It’s all about the balance: crisp edges, soft and chewy centers, and plenty of melted chocolate in every bite. No dry, flat, or cakey cookies here!

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

The edges should look set and lightly golden, while the centers may still look soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.

Are these good for parties and bake sales?

They are perfect! These cookies are familiar, crowd-pleasing, and disappear fast wherever they are served.

Can I use chocolate chip or chocolate chunks?

Yes! Chocolate chips hold their shape, while chunks melt into gooey pockets. A mix of both gives the best texture and flavor.
