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.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

The ingredients are simple, no chilling required. I mix them with my stand mixer (with the paddle attachment), but an electric mixer or dough whisk works great too.

All purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda, KOSHER salt (makes a difference!), butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla (a whole tablespoon), milk chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chips.

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 and taste amazing 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 semisweet chocolate chips for the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. Use whatever ratio you’d like! We’ve made them with white chocolate chips and chocolate chunks—another winning combination.

Cook 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.

    1 star because it can’t go any lower. Dry dough… it barely bakes. Do not waste your ingredients!

      I make these weekly and also include a step by step video showing that the dough is NOT dry. Please recheck your ingredient measurements.
