Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Do I really have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe you can find? YES! At least this is one of them.

I realize that there are many good chocolate chip cookie recipes in existence. However, I have been using this moist chocolate chip cookie recipe for years and I get the same fantastic results time after time.

• Thick and moist
• Buttery
• Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside
• Remain soft for days
• Enjoyed by everyone I have ever made them for!

This recipe was inspired by a recipe I found on the internet many years ago called Skaarups Almost Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was one of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes I had ever tried. It delivered the same results every time I used it. When I say inspired, I mean pretty darn close as there are only a couple of ingredients that are different. However, I have embellished some mixing and baking techniques combined with my own version of the recipe. Together, I believe that I have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe.

To say something is the best is subjective for sure. Maybe you like a flat cookie. Or perhaps you enjoy a crispy chocolate chip cookie or a very chewy or fat cookie. In your eyes these would be “best” That is okay. You have found the right website for finding and or creating your own perfect cookie. With a little ingredient knowledge you can play and experiment with the following recipe as I did to arrive at your own best chocolate chip cookie recipe. But start with this one the way it is and I promise you won’t be sorry.
