My husband says that these chocolate chip cookies are perfect, so it must be true. 🙂 There are so many different chocolate chip cookie recipes out there: soft chocolate chip cookies, chewy chocolate chip cookies, crispy chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chunk cookies. The list goes on… Everybody has their own preference, but this chocolate chip cookie recipe is definitely the best I’ve ever had. When you’re halfway through your first cookie, you’ll already be thinking about having a second one. They’re SO good!
What makes these chocolate chip cookies taste so much better than other recipes I’ve tried? The secret is to use melted butter and to chill the dough before baking. This method creates the perfect melt-in-your-mouth cookie texture. The melted butter firms up in the fridge and slowly melts again as it bakes. I used an ice cream scoop to keep the size of the cookies uniform. I only have a small ice cream scoop, so I used two scoops to make a medium-sized cookie.
It’s also important to use really good chocolate. I used President’s Choice semi-sweet mini chocolate chips and and Ritter Sport milk chocolate chunks on top. The combination of dark and milk chocolate is amAzing. The little chips give you a bit of chocolate in every bite and the chocolate chunks not only entice the eye, but they add big flavour too. Every bite is pretty incredible. You will also want to sprinkle a little finishing salt on the cookies when they first come out of the oven. I used Maldon salt; it’s my favorite. The sweet and salty combination is divine.
The best thing about chocolate chip cookies is that they are so easy to make and you will likely have all of the ingredients at home, so you can make them anytime you have a hankering for something sweet.
