Chocolate-Chip Cookies

You've gotta try this chocolate chip cookie recipe! They're so flavourful, chewy in the center, crunchy edges and they just tick all the boxes for me.

You're going to love this recipe. It's a simple traditional cookie recipe. I highly recommend chilling the dough for an hour or two before baking. Chilled dough spreads less when baking resulting in moister cookie texture. I usually leave my dough covered in the fridge overnight but an hour is enough before baking.

I love this recipe because no baking skills required! It's so easy, it only takes 10 minutes to bake. They’re full of flavor and sweetness...these cookies are irresistible!
