The Best thick chocolate chip cookie recipe
I have been making this thick chocolate chip cookie recipe for years and it never fails to get rave reviews. My kids love when I bake a batch because the cookies are soft and chewy in the center with a slight crisp on the edges. They are perfect for after school snacks or for packing in lunchboxes. I also appreciate that this recipe uses simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. There are no fancy techniques required and the cookies turn out perfectly every time. I find that using a combination of butter and a little bit of shortening gives them the ideal thickness and texture. Plus, you can feel a little better knowing that dark chocolate chips offer some antioxidants. This recipe is a staple in our home and I think it will become one in yours too.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Perfectly Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. Why are my chocolate chip cookies flat?
Flat cookies usually mean the butter was too soft or the dough was not chilled. Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Also, make sure your baking soda is fresh.
2. Can I use margarine instead of butter?
I do not recommend using margarine. Butter gives the cookies the best flavor and texture. Margarine has a higher water content which can lead to spreading and a less chewy cookie.
3. How do I make these cookies gluten-free?
You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend. The texture may be slightly different, but they will still be delicious.
4. Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough. Scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of minutes to the baking time.
5. How should I store these cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them extra soft, add a slice of bread to the container; it will absorb excess moisture.
