Actually, this recipe has been baked and enjoyed for 30 years! So, when we say it’s the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe, we mean it! When they are fresh out of the oven, they are soft, ultra chocolate-y, just enough cookie to hold it together, and perfect to dunk in a glass of milk.

Once they are cooled though, they are even better! They’ll even hold up to ice cream.

I can remember my mom making ice cream sandwiches from this recipe. It was SO good.

Expert Tips

Make sure to preheat your oven!
Remember to set out the eggs and butter early so they can come to room temperature.
Don’t over mix the cookies.
Put about 9 cookies per pan.
When baking, turn the cookies about halfway through their cook time to make sure each cookie browns evenly.
