World’s Greatest Chocolate Chip Cookies
10 Comments | Written on August 25, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
I know, it’s a bold statement. After years of baking and countless cookie recipes, this is hands down the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted! The secret is a blend of chocolate chunks, semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
You will need a heavy duty mixer for this dough! Don’t leave out the nuts because they make a world of difference, and don’t substitute any other chips. I have tried different kinds, but nothing works like this combination. When the cookies are baked, they are huge – about 4″ wide! I can never bake enough of these because they always disappear instantly. My friends ask me to make them all the time!
My All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature (no substitute!)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
12-ounce package chocolate chunks
12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips
11.5-ounce package milk chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups toasted, coarsely chopped walnuts
1. In large bowl of electric mixer, cream together butter, both sugars, and eggs until well blended. Mix in soda, salt, and vanilla.
2. Blend in flour until incorporated, then mix in chips, one package at a time. Mix in nuts.
3. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least a couple hours, or overnight.
4. When ready to bake, line large baking sheets with parchment paper. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
5. Measure batter in slightly heaping 1/3 cup measuring cup and turn out onto baking sheet, about 3″ apart. Flatten dough slightly with your hand.
6. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Dough will look slightly underdone in the center. Remove from oven and let cookies sit on baking sheet for several minutes before removing to rack to cool. Makes about 20-24 cookies.

These are to die for. No dieting with these in the house. Thank you..cHERYL jOHNSON
Looking for all the ingredients on my next shopping trip. Ultimate chocolate chip cookies are always on my “like” list.
Oh… I will HAVE to try these…. chocolate and cookies are my two mostest favoritest things ever!
This recipe will definitely be the next one I try! It’s got so much of the chocolate I love.
I use a simuliar recipe that started out as just a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe geared for kids in “Sunset’s Kid’s Cookie Cookbook”. I would add white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and bittersweet chocolate chips. Use the best quality chips that you can find; also the best vanilla extract-I’ve even used homemade vanilla extract. Lastly, a cookie scoop is a must for even cookies.
Off to the grocery store right now.
Anxious to share with co-workers family and friends.
So exciting Jet! Let us know how they turn out!
Sounds amazing Tammy! Thanks for the great tips.
I made then once and used butter, but I didn’t have time to refrigerate. The were great but spread way too much which made them hard to bake. This time I used 1/2 butter crisco and 1/2 butter. I am just keeping in the fridge while each sheet bakes. Cooking for 10 minutes at 375 and they are perfect! These are some of the best cookies I have had (which is a lot!) …I do make them smaller as well and use a cookie scoop.
