How Many cookies does this recipe make?
This recipe makes lots of cookies, even with big cookies, you’ll make about 4 dozen so there will be plenty to go around!
How long do you bake Chocolate chip cookies?
If you like crunchier cookies, wait until the edges are a little bit darker. Ovens vary, I find this especially true with cookies so make sure your first batch is just one or two cookies and use that as a test batch. My last oven took 9 minutes to bake the cookies and my oven now takes 13, so it can be a pretty big difference!
Tips for making the BEST Chocolate Chip cookies
Do NOT over bake the cookies. 16 minutes is the max amount of time that you want to cook the cookies in the oven. They will still look raw in the middle but the remanding heat from the cookie sheet will finish cooking them.
Measure Exacts. I know some may thing this goes with out saying but when you are baking chocolate chip cookies it is VERY important to be sure to follow the ingredient measurement exactly.
Space out the cookies when you put them on the baking sheet. It is important that you leave room on the baking sheet between the cookies when you put them on the tray.
Don’t remove the cookies from the tray too quickly. I won’t lie it is totally tempting to want to enjoy a fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie as soon as you take them out of the oven. However those 5 minutes on the tray are needed for them to finish baking properly and give you the soft chocolate chip cookie you want and love.
My BEST Cookie tip for making cookies is to get a cookie scoop – seriously it makes scooping the cookie dough so much easier and then you end up with that perfect cookie shape!
How long do fresh chocolate chip cookies last?
Stored in an air tight container, fresh chocolate chip cookies will last for 2-3 weeks. That is if your family does not eat them all on your first.
How to store these cookies
The best way to store these homemade cookies is in an airtight container at room temperature. To store the cookies, let them cool completely and then place one layer in an air tight container, layer a piece of parchment paper and another layer of cookies and continue until all the cookies are in the container.
If you notice the cookies are loosing moisture, add a piece of bread to the container and it will help keep the cookies soft and the moisture in the air tight container.
Freezing Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies will keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks. To freeze these cookies, allow the cookies to cool completely. Then place a piece of parchment paper on a room temperature baking sheet and lay the cookies in a single layer on the tray. Place the tray in the freezer for 1-2 hours until the cookies are fully frozen. Remove the frozen cookies from the tray and store in a zip-lock plastic bag.
