Chocolate Chip Cookies – Sweet Easy Recipes Everyone Will Love

You know those chocolate chip cookies that somehow always disappear faster than you'd expect? These are *those* cookies. They're soft in the center, just a bit crisp at the edges, and filled with warm, gooey chocolate that’ll convince even the most devoted 'I’m not a sweets person' types. I’ve been baking these since college—back when I was using measuring cups as coffee mugs and my oven door didn’t quite shut all the way. Still, these turned out amazing. We’re talking golden tops, melty centers, and that rich buttery flavor that never goes out of style. Whether you’re baking for the holidays or stress-eating after a wild Tuesday, this recipe delivers. It’s simple, forgiving, and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients—just you, your favorite mixing spoon, and maybe a little self-restraint.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

  5. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a spatula or wooden spoon.
  6. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving a bit of room to spread.
