These soft and buttery chocolate chip cookies are a classic that never get old. They’re warm, comforting, and the whole family enjoys them!
What I really like about this particular recipe is that is has the perfect amount of sweetness to it. We don’t care for cookies that are overly sweet and these too me are the best! The lightly golden slightly crisp edges are my favorite part! And of course the inside is perfectly soft with the right amount of chocolate chips.
This is another great recipe to make with your kids. The dough comes together rather quickly, and they’ll love to help scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. If you’re looking for a simple homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe, this one is easy to make and always a hit.

Ingredients Overview
These cookies are made with simple ingredients you most likely already have in your kitchen.
You’ll need all-purpose flour and baking soda for the dry ingredients.
For the cookie dough, you’ll use softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, which create a rich and flavorful base for the cookies. I love using brown sugar in cookies. It adds a distinct caramel like flavor that regular sugar can’t provide.
And of course you can’t forget the classic chocolate chips!
