Bethany's review: "It’s honestly the best cookie recipe I’ve ever made. Even when I have to bake for a crowd I just make 6 of this recipe. It’s the perfect chewiness to crispiness. It’s exactly what you want from a cookie."
We love making chocolate chip cookies with different flavors, you should try our pistachio cookies, white chocolate cookies, smores cookies, brown butter pecan cookies, biscoff butter cookies, chewy chocolate cookies, and our brown butter chocolate chunk cookies

Simple- these cookies are made with simple ingredients are don’t require an electric hand mixer, all you will need is a whisk and a bowl.
Preparation
Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
Full measurements are in the recipe card below.
Butter- use unsalted butter for this recipe. Only butter will work for this recipe, no margarine, and no coconut oil. Margarine has a weird taste and can ruin the flavor of these delicious cookies.
Flour– we used all-purpose flour for this recipe. cake flour will work great as well.
Baking soda – baking soda helps the cookies rise and spread. Make sure that your baking soda isn’t expired. Don’t replace baking soda with baking powder!
Granulated sugar– we like to use granulated sugar, also the most common sugar used in baking. Caster sugar will work great as well.
Brown sugar- adds a caramelly flavor and chewy texture to the cookies. use either light brown sugar or dark brown sugar.
Egg yolk- you will need 1 large egg yolk for this recipe. The egg yolk adds chewiness to these cookies.
Vanilla extract- adds extra flavor.
Kosher salt- you will need about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.
Chocolate- use the best quality semisweet or dark chocolate bars for the best flavor. You will need dark chocolate for the cookie dough, and more for topping the cookies.
Flaky salt- we like topping our cookies with flaky salt when they are finished. We like the contrast of the sweetness and the slight saltiness that it gives the cookies. you can skip this step, it’s a personal preference.
