Ok, I’m a sucker for chocolate chip cookies.
And I confess I’ve eaten a ridiculous amount of cookies in my lifetime.
I’ve also tried a bunch of chocolate chip cookie recipe variations over the years. And this recipe is, by far, my favorite one.

The cookies are light and chewy. The chocolate chips melt in your mouth. And, of course, you can make a big batch and eat them for days. If you feel so inclined.

Notes
Note that the cookies will finish baking on the cookie sheets after you take them out of the oven. Let the cookies sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.Â
Also, if you don’t want your cookies to go flat in the oven, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours prior to baking.Â
