easy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe Tips

Some tips to always getting the best cookies are:

Use butter that is softened and DO NOT OVER MIX! Over mixing butter causes hard cookies. Mix butter and the entire dough as little as possible. 

Also using a dark brown sugar, a best brown sugar or demerara brown sugar makes for a better tasting cookie as well. 

If you do not want oats in your cookies you can just increase the flour by 1/3 cups and leave the oats out. 

If you use salted butter like Britt does then you may want to omit using the extra salt in the recipe!

It’s all about the chocolate chips

Chocolate chips can make or break your cookies! These semi-sweet chocolate chips and chunks are perfect, not too sweet but not to dark either! 

Another option is to get a bulk piece of chocolate that it in a big chunk and then grate the chocolate off of that! It makes for melty chewy cookies!

This quick, easy recipe really is so simple and fool proof and the cookies always turn out delicious! I hope you enjoy this easy chocolate chip cookie recipe and please share with me if you try it!

Also have you ever tried storing the cookies in the freezer and enjoying them cold??? I store my cookies in the freezer and pull 1 out and leaves it sit for a few minutes and eats it that way. It is so cold and chewy and soft!
