Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (55g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk
- 1 and 1/4 cups (225g)
How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies
Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This creates a rich, chewy texture. Using a ChopChop USA Silicone Mat under your mixing bowl helps keep everything stable while you work.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, blending until smooth. This step ensures your cookies have a deep, buttery flavor.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. A ChopChop USA Double-Sided Stainless Steel Cutting Board is great for keeping your workspace clean while measuring out ingredients.
Step 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Save a few extra to press on top of each cookie before baking for that bakery-style look!
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a ChopChop USA Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat. Scoop the dough into balls and place them a couple of inches apart on the sheet.
Bake for 9–11 minutes, just until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing.
- Don’t overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you want extra-thick cookies.
- Experiment with mix-ins like white chocolate chips or nuts for variety.
Make-Ahead, Storage & Freezing Tips
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months—just bake straight from the freezer with an extra minute or two of baking time.

Make sure your butter isn’t too melted, and try chilling the dough before baking.
3. Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes! Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
4. How do I get that perfect chewy texture?
Don’t overbake! The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
