My chocolate chip recipe has undergone years of revisions, and it is now prepared for public consumption. Many of my pals have tested it in the lab, and they all seem to agree with me that it’s really fantastic. They are undoubtedly unhealthy, but the required cardio exercise after eating the cookies is well worth it. I sincerely hope it works as well for you as it does for me! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (12 ounce) bag chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Gently mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a fork in a bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
- Divide the dough into 24 3-tablespoon-sized balls. Flatten the balls to about 1/4-inch thick onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet until the centers begin to set, about 20 minutes.

Reviews
I have to agree with the general opinion – this recipe has too much flour in it. I had to add extra liquid do wetten the batter up, and it still came out really thick and cakey.
I once used this recipe over 6 years ago for a friend in high school for their birthday, we are still friends and they still request these cookies every year! We may only be friends because they love these cookies so much, but I wouldn’t blame them – they are so yummy!
I’ve been making these for over 2 years now and everytime they turn out perfect. Don’t take them off they tray too early, wait 10mins or so before putting onto a cooling rack to help them hold their shape. I do the full 17mins. A batch gets me exactly 40 large cookies. I use about 400gms of choc chips, add more than you think you need so they are packed with chocolate or they don’t turn out as chewy. Don’t worry about the amount of flour or temperature like other reviews suggest. I’ve never made a bad batch following this recipe.
Not the best. Way too much flour and it was dry as a final result.
For me, these did NOT turn out gooey or soft or crispy. They turned out cakey and puffy. Sadly I do not like cakey/bread cookies. I am looking for a soft and chewy cookie recipe perhaps with crisp edges and this is not it. Maybe I did something wrong? I followed all the directions. I live at ocean level and wonder if that could affect the recipe? Very disappointing
Our family loves this recipe
Well I don’t care what someone says, I care about their actions!………I tried this and made them the way the recipe states except I added nuts and this will now replace my go-to cookie recipe! Yuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuMEeeeeeee! And they stay chewy. My husband loved them. Thank you!
These are just ok, surely not the best cookies.
This recipe is fantastic!
I made these as a thank you present for a friend. I was totally disappointed with them. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out hard and dry with not enough chocolate chips. I was too embarrassed to give them to my friend so I have to bake another batch using a my old standby recipe!
OMG to die for… I can’t bake to save my life and love love loved this recipe. The 300 threw me off and I nearly turned up the temp to 350 then my daughter said no… They turned out perfectly!!!
Delicious, and chewy! Highly recommend!
Excellent!! I’ve used this recipe for years and it never fails. Like good Bakery cookies
Love these, I’ve made them a dozen times. I bake a lot, and cookies are my specialty. Sometimes I make them smaller and adjust cooking time to shorter, or sometimes I do half chocolate/half white chocolate chips, but other than that I don’t change a thing. They are perfect.
I was intrigued by the recipe name and further drawn in by the quantity of brown sugar required. They are delicious and true to the honest recipe name
Good for homemade chocolate chip cookies but was hoping for a more Subway chocolate chip cookie.
I putted it 18min.
I just halved the batch and made medium sized cookies. Still ended up with 28 cookies. I loved the receipe. Tasted very similar to Subway cookies. This recipe is a keeper!
They came out yummy, with just enough crispness to make they a little crunchy but the middle chewy
this is my all time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, everyone who tries them loves them. One change, if you want a crispy outside, but tender inside, increase the tempeture to 320°, still bake for 20 mins.
This is my go-to cookie recipe for cc cookies of course, but I also use this base recipe for other cookies. I’ve made all kinds of substitutions according to what ingredients I’ve had on hand at the time and every variation has been great! Depending on the butter/sugar/flour type I’ve used, sometimes it takes a little less flour, sometimes the full amount. It’s pretty foolproof. Really love it!
