I have been making this chocolate cookies recipe for years now. After a lot of trial and errors, I landed on the perfect recipe. It’s simply perfect. Soft and chewy on the outside and slightly crisp on the outside. The texture is to die for.

If you are a cookie lover, then don’t miss the chocolate Pizzokie. A chocolate cookie in a pan served warm with ice cream, and salted caramel sauce will take you to dessert heaven. Chocolate Pizookie or Skillet cookie

Now if you are someone who likes the subtle sweetness and lighter cookies definitely try the cranberry and pistachio Biscotti. Oooooh, it’s really good.

Crisp and chewy oatmeal cookies are also worth a try.

How to get ridges and crinkles on your cookies?

Ridges and crinkles are what makes these cookies the best. For this chocolate chip cookies recipe, the dough has to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or in the freezer for about 20 minutes to get that perfect look.

It will give you three styles of cookies

1. If you make it directly without cooling, it will yield a flat texture.
2. Once you preheat the oven and place the dough on the cookie sheet and place it in the oven immediately. Do not let it sit at room temperature. (If you want to get the texture in the images, follow this method)
3. Now if you make the scooped dough sit at room temperature for even 5 to 10 minutes, the crinkles and ridges will be less.

Always let the cookies cool on a wire rack completely before transferring into an airtight container.

I used Ghirardelli big chocolate chips, but smaller chunks or chips would give the chocolate a more even distribution. Add the chocolate chip cookies in the end and blend gently.

Verdict: You now have the secret to making the perfect chocolate chip cookies ever.
