Perfect soft chewy chocolate chip cookies with subtle vanilla and caramel notes, just like those big ones you can buy in bakeries!

Cookies bring out the child in me.

Well, most things bring out the child in me, for example Pokemon games or having to make a doctors appointment over the phone…but soft chewy chocolate chip cookies are definitely one of the tastiest things.

Soft chewy chocolate chip cookies are one of my favourite foods on this glorious planet. Is there anyone who can resist a big old cookie packed with chunky chocolate pieces? If those sort of people do exist, I don’t want to meet them. (With the exclusion of my dad who is picky with just about everything, sorry old man.)

These cookies are a perfect example of the beauty of the chocolate chip variety. They’re made using brown sugar which gives a light caramel flavour to the dough, and adding dark chocolate chips a generous pinch of salt makes them almost like a grown up, sophisticated cookie. Well, maybe not grown up, but definitely a little more cultured…like cookies that have been on their gap year but haven’t quite started working or attending university yet.

I’ve been making these chewy chocolate chip cookies for years. It’s become one of those recipes that you know on a more personal level than most of your family members. It happens to be one of my mum’s absolute favourite recipes, and it was her who nudged me to upload it onto this here blog. So here you have it, my easiest and absolute favourite (next to Costco‘s obviously) soft chewy chocolate chip cookies that contain more chocolate chips than a nutritionist would likely recommend. You’re welcome.

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are at their absolute best when eaten still warm (maybe not when still piping hot!) from the oven or within a few days of being made. They are delicious at room temperature (as normal people eat cookies) but I must recommend a method popular in our household for eating cookies, heating them in the microwave until nice and melty to be eaten messily with fingers or topped with a hunkin’ scoop of ice cream. Seriously. Yum city.

I don’t really have the words to explain how much I’d love you to make these chewy chocolate chip cookies. They’re always so popular, and disappear very quickly after I bake them, so I really urge you to try them out too!

    Does the butter have to be salted or unsalted butter?

    1. Hi Laura, you can use either, I switch it up depending on what i have! However, if you do use salted, don’t add the extra pinch of salt. 🙂

    2. I just tried the recipe and my cookies didn’t spread is there a reason for this? Thanks
