I love thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies with a crisp outside and soft inside. I’m not one for crispy chocolate chippers, but I’d never turn down any chocolate chip cookie. Anybody with me? There’s just something so satisfying about that crunch as you sink your teeth into a soft, brown sugar laden chunky chocolate chip cookie.
These cookies are charmers.
Since I first began selling baked goods (and thus began this blog) these chunky chocolate chip cookies have been my go-to prize chippers.
Brown sugar and chocolate chips compete as the star of the show in these cookies. The high proportion of brown sugar lends to a smoky, caramel flavor which partners with the rich chocolate of the chips and lush butter to form a gorgeously tasty cookie. I’ve tried many a chocolate chip cookie recipe, and this one has yet to be topped.
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ t. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 360 F.
- Beat butter and sugars until fluffy and lighter in color, approximately 5 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla and continue to beat 2 minutes. Slowly add in dry ingredients and finally stir in the chips.
- Scoop out dough by the tablespoon or using a cookie scoop and place on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes and remove cookies to a cooling rack. Gobble down with a big glass of cold milk.

If you’re the chocolate on chocolate type, you must try this chocolate chip biscotti. It just might become your favorite coffee dunker.

Your pictures look so beautiful! I’m always looking for a reliable and yummy chocolate chip recipe–thanks for sharing 🙂 Stopping in from SITS Sharefest today.

Thank you so much, Charlotte. I’ve been working really hard to try to improve my food photos. I’ve got a long way to go, but there’s definitely been progress. As for the cookies, they’re spectacular. I can’t keep them (or frozen dough balls) in the house because I can’t keep myself out of them. Hope you give them a try.
Hi Jelli 🙂 These cookies look amazing and I found them on the flamingo toes link party! I am following you on pinterest 🙂

Thank you so much, Cathy! You’d better have a gallon jug of milk on hand when you plan on baking these cookies. Have a wonderful week.
Hi Jelli, thanks for linking up to MM this week – I love chocolate chip cookies – could eat them all day every day! Pinned.
Thank you so much, Deb! I could eat cookies every day too, but I’d definitely have to add a few extra laps to my jogging then. Hope your week is beautiful.

These cookies sound delicious Jelli! Thick, chewy chocolate chip cookies with a crispy outer layer are my favorite so I know I would love these for sure:) They look super thick and awesome and the brown sugar sounds perfect 🙂
Brown sugar makes everything better, right? I use it to sweeten my coffee every.single.day. Thank you, Kelly, for stopping by to love on my recipe!
Ohhh, hello! Those look amazing! Like seriously. I think I’m going to have to go make some cookies now.
Cookies make every day a little happier! Hope you love them and thanks so much for visiting.
Oh my gosh, your cookies look AMAZING! I can’t eat them (being gluten free) but my family sure can. I think I will whip up a batch this weekend just to prove to my kids that cookies don’t always come out of a box, lol! Beautiful photos as well! #SITSBlogging
Haha, Jaqui. I know what you mean about boxed mixes. I grew. up on 100% boxed mix cakes and pizza crusts. Your kids will LOVE the homemade cookies. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with boxed mixes, but boy do the homemade cookies satisfy! There’s just something about the way fresh butter and brown sugar meld together that’s magical!
YUMMMM thanks for sharing!
