A Family Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

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!

How To Make Big, Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep – Before you get started, preheat your oven to a toasty 325 degrees F.  I also like to line my cookie sheet with a baking mat or some parchment paper.

Dry Then Wet – First, you’ll want to mix the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  Then, in a separate bowl, you’ll mix the wet ingredients together until fully blended.  Next, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and then give it a good stir until everything has fully mixed together.  Next, you’ll gently fold in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed.

Ball’em Up – To get your chocolate chip cookies big and fat, you’ll need to use more dough for each cookie.  You’ll want to use about 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each ball.  Space them about 2-3 inches apart to get them room to spread while they’re baking.

Cook – Bake the chocolate chip cookies for about 15-17 minutes or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown.

Cool – Once you remove the cookies from the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes to continue baking.  Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool before serving.

Recipe Tips & Storage

Softer Cookies – To get your cookies extra soft, you’ll want your ingredients to be room temperature before mixing them together.  Leave them out for about 30 minutes before starting.  You may need to leave the butter out a little longer just to be on the safe side.

Storage – Be sure to store these in a Ziploc bag to keep them from going stale.  You can also freeze these chocolate chip cookies for up to 3 months if you want.
