I know what you’re thinking, “Jennie, do you know how many times I’ve seen the word best associated with chocolate chip cookies?” I know, but these really are the best chocolate chips cookies I’ve ever sunk my teeth into. How do I know this? Because I’ve baked and tested several different recipes and this is the only one that bakes up soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. I call that cookie perfection. They’re so good that I’ve been eating them around the clock.
These cookies are delicious dunked in an ice cold glass of milk or paired with a piping hot cup of slightly sweetened tea. They’re delicious for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a midnight snack.
Dear Santa, I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t think I want to share these cookies with you this year, despite what the tag may say.
My pants are fitting a bit tight these days. I suppose it’s the extra junk in the trunk. Hmm, I wonder if my extra junk has anything to do with all of the cookies I’ve been consuming? I’m going with the dryer shrunk my clothes. Yup, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
‘Tis the season to eat all the cookies you want without a shred of guilt! Happy holidays.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
I only share with Santa if she brings me something nice for Christmas.
These DO look fabulous. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Jen. Yeah, I’m not so good about sharing my food. I need to work on that. I would think about sharing if Santa brought me a Vitamix.
Yum! I don’t think Santa would find any leftover cookies around here.
I’m kinda feeling bad for Santa…Never mind, no I’m not
I LOVE the wrinkles on these cookies! And the double chocolate! And pecans! YUM!
Thanks, Anna! I love the rustic look the wrinkles give the cookie.
I’ve been on a search for the best CCC – I’ve only made three kinds so far with the NY Times cookie being my fave. I can’t wait to try this recipe! These look so perfect – puffy yet crinkly and golden on the edges. I wouldn’t share with Santa either! Your photos and styling are gorgeous. Happy holidays, Jennie!
Thank you so much, Nancy. What is this NY Times recipe you speak of? I may have to give that one a try.
I don’t know about the “without a shred of guilt” part. I ate ten cookies in one day… actually it was probably more than that. I have to try these little puffs of heaven.
I use the holidays as an excuse to eat all of the cookies I want. I have no doubt I’ll feel guilty come January. Thanks, Stefanie!
Those do look pretty awesome, but I think I’ll need to test a few out first.
I think I can make that happen, Susan. I’m always looking for taste testers. Email me your address. Thanks!
Ohmahgawddddd
I’m frrreaking out.
COOKIES!
I made the cookie queen freak out? Weee!
Dark and milk chocolate are one of the best chocolate combos on this planet. Bravo, Jennie for creating the best chocolate chip cookies ever!
I agree, dark and milk chocolate are a great combo. Thanks so much!
Those cookies certainly look like they could be the best. I love how thick and soft and chewy they look. Another cookie recipe to put me in the holiday spirit
Merry Christmas!

Best ever huh? You have peaked my interesf for sure, especially since hubby love loves chocolate chip cookies:-) They do look pretty fantastic! Hugs, Terra
Nice Blog..i never had this kind of cookies before..thanks for share!
Gosh, I adore chocolate chip cookies. Gotta try these!
I have to try any new chocolate chip cookie recipe I see! These look wonderful…especially with your strong endorsement!
I was thinking exactly that – another “the best” chocolate chip cookie recipe? But…but, we all need to try a new recipe to find the perfect one for us! That said, I am going to try this in the (very) near future!
What about salt? I threw in a teaspoon and that seemed to be okay…they were delish! Easily one of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve ever used. Thank you so much for posting!
Sara, I’m so glad you enjoyed the cookies. Surprisingly, the recipe calls for no salt. My family tore these cookies up. Thanks for visiting!
Just made these cookies right now.
All I can say about these bad boys is AMAZING!!
I’ve made plenty of Chocolate Chip Cookies and I think this may be on the top of my favorite recipes!! Thank you so much for sharing this!! <3
My sister and I are big cookie fans. She made these as stated above and mailed me a few. They were yummy! I love pecans and chocolate together. My only thinking is that they could use a little salt. I’ll definitely save the recipe as I’m a connoisseur of chocolate chip cookie recipes. Thanks for sharing!
