The Best Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – An easy chocolate chip cookie recipe made in minutes. These are the best homemade chocolate chip cookies ever!
There’s nothing better than chocolate chip cookies from scratch! A warm, fresh chocolate chip cookie with a big glass of milk is comfort food at it’s finest.
I’ve tried a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes over the years. I keep finding that many of the recipes have at least one long wait time. They require you to either wait a couple of hours to bring the butter and eggs to room temperature, or wait for the dough to chill in the refrigerator for an hour. Sometimes both.
I’m too impatient! 🙂 I want to be able to relax on my couch and suddenly decide I need some homemade, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Then, have them baking in the oven in just a few minutes!

Made these cookies last night and they came out perfect! Thank you for the best quick recipe I have used in a long time!

These are delicious. I used half wheat flour and half AP flour. I also lined cookie sheets and sprayed with cooking spray. Oddly enough approximately 9 mins is what it took if I went to 10 mins they burned. At 9 mins took them out let them rest for a min then racks to cool.
These are really really good. Thank you!

I followed the recipe but my dough came out a little runny still.

I love this recipe I’ve made it several times and it is so good! This time I added 2 tsp of cinnamon as well and it really sent them over the top. It didn’t change the recipe or the cook time either!
