Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of those things that most people have tried baking in their life. You might be like me and have tried several recipes and still just can’t seem to find the right ones. I have been known to mess up chocolate chip cookies, for some reason they have just always been difficult for me to make. That’s why our recipe for the BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES is a recipe that Jason does. Well this recipe, I think, might produce the perfect chocolate chip cookies. If you like a soft cookies that are loaded with chocolate chips, then you will love these. I love them because they are not super puffy, dense cookies. They are kind of flat, which makes them easy to snack on, but they still puffy and airy enough.
When I make these cookies, I place 3-5 chocolate chips on top of the cookies after I roll the balls. This make for beautiful cookies when they are done. Just make sure to slightly press them in so they aren’t awkwardly sticking out after they bake.
Not going to lie, I probably ate about 15 of these in the matter of four days. They’re very tempting to stop by and grab a few to snack on.
