Whether you like the prepackaged dough or want to make the real thing from scratch, we don’t judge. We’ve got the very best chocolate chip cookie recipe to wow your kids, party guests or maybe even just yourself at home. With no hard-to-find ingredients and no chilling the dough, you can get right down to baking business!
How To Make Chocolate Chip Cookies
While it’ll never be quite as easy as opening premade cookie dough, we promise it’s not hard at all. All you’ll need are some basic baking ingredients and a cookie sheet or any oven-safe tray that you can throw balls of dough on!
As tempting as cookie dough can be, we recommend you don’t eat it, as this recipe calls for eggs. From start to finish, this recipe only takes about 20 minutes. Once you’re done, dunk the warm cookies into a glass of milk or serve with ice cream for a nice post-dinner treat!
