The BEST chocolate chip cookies to keep in a cute cookie jar. Soft, stackable and stay fresh for several days!

Watch our step by step video!

We recently had friends stay with us for the weekend. As they arrived I was finishing up making a giant batch of our favorite chocolate chip cookies. I doubled the recipe and had the BIGGEST bowl of cookie dough known to man sitting on the counter. We questioned if we’d actually go through all of them before they went stale. Let me tell you, it wasn’t a problem.

Those cookies were enjoyed for 2 days and all 7 dozen were gobbled up. We brought them in a big container with us to the beach, I kept them in the car for outings, and served them for dessert each night. If the kids wanted a snack they knew where to go—my cookie jar.

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies to Store In a Cookie Jar

These chocolate chip cookies are soft, but do not break in half when stacked. They are the perfect cookie to store in a cookie jar. What I really love about them is that they STAY FRESH for a few days. Some cookies become crumbly on day 2 and start to break in the cookie jar. Not these. These are just as soft on day 2 and 3.

I make them with a combination of milk chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chips for the perfect balance of sweetness.

Cook These Cookies Until Golden

Some cookies are best when undercooked slightly and allowed time to sit in the baking sheet to firm up. Our cookie jar chocolate chip cookies can bake in the oven until golden, and are still soft. We prefer cooking them until they start to brown (12-14 minutes). This makes for a soft, chewy and milk dunkable cookie.

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
