The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever-Alice’s Recipe
Yesterday I did a Live cooking segment for a local television station. I made my Black Bean, Avocado, and Mango Salad. I had a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. You guys are the best! I will try to get a link to post on the blog.
Most of you know I am cookie obsessed, just check my recipe index for proof. My cookie section is a mile long:) When I was browsing through Alice’s blog, Savory Sweet Life, I noticed she had a recipe for the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever. I know there are a lot of people who claim they have the best recipe, but I love Alice and her blog, so I knew I had to give her cookies a chance. I trust her judgement:)
I made sure I followed the directions to a T. We weighed the flour and creamed the butter and sugars until they were very creamy. Alice’s step by step instructions and beautiful photos were very helpful. I loved that the recipe called for sea salt, a lot of brown sugar, and loads of chocolate chips…I knew these were going to be good.
We loved these cookies. The edges were nice and crisp, but the centers were soft and chewy. The chocolate chips spread nicely throughout the cookie. You can taste a hint of the sea salt which pairs perfectly with the buttery cookie and rich chocolate.
So were they the best? Try them and decide for yourself:) We will be making these again-thanks Alice! Do you think you have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe? If so, please share!
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever-Alice's Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour
1 tsp. smallish-medium coarse sea salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups/16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips (Alice uses Nestle, we used Ghiradelli)Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Alice:)

These were the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve EVER made and I’ve made a LOT of chocolate chip cookies! I think it was the extra 1/2 cup of sugar than I usually use.
I made these CCC after seeing the recipe on Alice’s blog. She has since changed the recipe – 2 3/4 cups (12 oz) instead of 3 cups (12 oz) . I wished she had edited the recipe instead of actually changing it so other bloggers who made it and linked it to her site would know it’s been changed. Oh well. Either way they were good but still on the hunt for the BEST CCC…

Sorry about that. I didn’t know she changed the recipe. Try the New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe on our site. They are our favorite:)
These cookies are absolutely amazon and easy to make for a beginner like mysef. I brought them in to work for my treat day, and they were devoured! People raved about them all day! One common comment? You should SELL these cookies! Thanks for a great recipe.

I just made these, didn’t have butter so I used margarine…turned out delicious! I am sure that butter would have made these even better! Thanks for the great recipe!

Sorry you had trouble. We make these cookies all of the time and never have a problem. Did you add too much flour?
I Googled “best chocolate chip cookie” and this was one link that came up. I liked the look of the recipe, made them (easy as pie), and am eating one now. I have to say that these are the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever made (and I’ve made countless cookies over the years). I thought I’d send my husband into work with some, but I’m not so sure now… I don’t want to give them away!

I’m always in search of the best chocolate chip cookie and I think I may have found it! I made these yesterday and they were outstanding. I love it that they didn’t flatten out or puff up too much – just right! I baked mine for 12 minutes, which was perfect. These seem to have a bit more flour than most choc. chip recipes, maybe that’s what sets them apart and gives them a great texture. Thanks for sharing this!
