Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies you’ll ever make. Give them a try!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don’t joke about my cookies. Especially my chocolate chip cookies. So many things can go wrong – too thin, too crispy, too much white sugar, dry, too little chocolate. These cookies pass my test.

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

This month I got to participate in the Great Food Blogger’s Cookie Swap! I forgot to enter last year so when I remembered to sign up this year I was so excited. How it works is you make 3 dozen cookies and send a dozen each to your three matches. You’ll also get three dozen cookies in the mail from three other bloggers! SO COOL. This is what I got!

Clockwise starting top right… Oatmeal Raisin, Cranberry Biscotti, and Pumpkin Spice COOKIE BUTTER Oatmeal. They were all so good.

I hope mine were enjoyed just as much! They’re soft, thick, melt in your mouth, not too sweet, and loaded with chocolate. Exactly how a chocolate chip cookie should be.
