I’ve yet to meet anyone that doesn’t enjoy a chewy chocolate chip cookie. Sure some may prefer dark choc chips over milk chocolate (I know I do), but there’s no denying choc chip cookies are almost everyone’s favourite.
This recipe is versatile and can be easily adapted by adding chopped nuts or dried fruit with, or instead of, chocolate chips. If you can enjoy them while they’re still warm out of the oven, you’ll get the extra treat of gooey melted chocolate as a bonus!
I’d recommend making a double batch. You can keep a portion of the uncooked dough in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks. When you are ready to bake, portion the dough on a lined baking tray and allow to come up to room temperature for 5 mins before baking as per recipe.
When baking, allow plenty of room around each ball of cookie dough to allow for spreading.

You may need to adjust cooking time depending on your oven. Depending on your preference you can bake longer for crunchier biscuits, a shorter time for softer chewier cookies.

Yummm, a classic chocolate chip cookie! Not only are they a delicious treat, but they’re also good as a gift when you can’t think of what to give!
Yummy but there was a lot of sugar in this recipe especially compared to some other recipes I’ve found when searching for chewy choc chip cookies. I balanced out the sweetness with a pinch of salt thrown into the cookie dough.
How to store them so they don’t go soft
Cool on a rack and store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. These cookies are chewy and will be naturally soft due to the inclusion of soft sugar which retains moisture.
These cookies are delicious!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed them.
