The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are thick, soft and jam packed with chocolate chips! They are big and delicious and super simple to make!

This recipe comes courtesy of my sister in law who, unlike me, is an excellent baker! She said this recipe totally replaced her go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe, and after one bite of this deliciousness, I can totally see why!!!

I’ll be honest, I don’t do well with recipes that require precise measurements, so a lot of baking attempts end in messy failures for me. But these cookies? I’ve never messed them up. Never. Which means if I can make them, you can too!

Did I mention these cookies are also huge? Like, the size of your hand. (Do I have your attention yet?)

If you, or anyone you know, loves chewy chocolate chip cookies made in under 30 minutes, then this recipe is a must make!
