I took a home economics class in Junior High and it was my introduction to baking. We learned how to make chocolate chip cookies by looking at the recipe off the back of the bag, which was also my first experience following a recipe as well. I then started experimenting with different amounts of sugar and various other combinations to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and I became known in my family for my chocolate chip cookies. My recipe has changed over the years as I’ve learned more about baking, but I’m excited to share this Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe with you today that you are sure to love!

One final trick to share, save some of your chocolate chips to add to the tops once the cookies have come out of the oven. It will make your cookies look professionally made and disperse the chocolate throughout the top. Just make sure you use this trick right when they come out of the oven!

Another great element to this cookie dough is you can freeze it! I like to premake some of the dough balls and store them in the freezer. You can pop a few out when you are in need of a treat, let them thaw and throw them in the oven!

These literally melt in your mouth! They are the perfect, chewy and soft cookie. We love to give these as teacher gifts, to welcome neighbors and they are a staple during the holidays! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy this easy chocolate chip cookie recipe as much as my family and friends do.
