The Best Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

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!

What makes this the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?

• Flavor: They have a sweet, buttery, toffy-like cookie flavor, loaded with chocolate chips.
• Quick & Easy to make: No bringing the ingredients to room temperature.  No chilling the dough. The recipe can easily be whisked together, instead of using a mixer.  And, it’s a ONE BOWL recipe.

Notes

*I melt the butter in the large microwave safe mixing bowl that I make the cookie dough in so it truly stays a one bowl recipe.

**The cook time is based on using 1 1/2 level tablespoons (from a #40 scoop) of dough in the shape of a scoop (or ball) for each cookie. If the amount of dough is different, the baking time will be off. Use a #40 scoop and scrape it up the side of the bowl to easily level off the dough. Or, use 1 1/2 level tablespoons of dough and roll the dough into a ball.

I highly recommend using a #40 scoop for this.  It makes the cookie making process so fast and easy.
