I made this cookie recipe twice, and my family loves them. The chocolate chip cookies have the perfect balance of crispness and chewiness, making them a crowd favorite for everyone.

I’ve made these several times and it is now my ‘go to’ recipe. Crispy on the edges, gooey in the center. I bang them in the oven, like you did on the episode… delicious!

My go to base for cookies. I have made these gluten free and regular. I do use a half and half for butter and crisco. Unlimited potential in this foolproof recipe.

Oooh the peanut butter cups! I’ll have to try that. Thanks so much for taking the time to rate and review. We’re thrilled you enjoy the recipe!

This is truly the best chocolate chip recipe and I have made many a chocolate chip recipes in my lifetime. Who would’ve known that that little bit of shortening makes a huge difference in the crispiness of the cookie. Instead of chocolate chips, sometimes I like to chop up some Reese‘s peanut butter cups. This recipe is a keeper in our house.

i tried this recipe to bring to my school for a friend’s birthday, I’ve yet to see how they like it, however instesd of chuinks of choclate i used semi sweet chocalate chips and since i didnt have enough of those i cut of pieces of Dove chocolates lol (as these were the only chocolates i had) i also didn’t have shortening, so i used coconut oil instead, and it worked pretty well. I’ve attempted to bake chocolate chip cookies before, but they have NEVER turned out this good before. I’m not much of a baker, but I can’t wait to see how people like them!

Hi Paula,

Yes, using all butter will make the cookies spread much more. The shortening is used because it doesn’t spread. You can either use a couple more tablespoons of flour or less butter next time. If you have my book, I would check out the “cookie lab”, where I show pictures of how the ingredients effect the outcomes of the cookies. It’s really fascinating how one little change can make a big difference.

Thanks, Zoë

Looked nothing like your photo. Cookies were flat and greasy. I weighed all ingredients per recipe, put in fridge for an hour. Only difference is no shortening so used all butter. Could that alone accounted for difference. ☹️

Hi Denise! Great catch. This recipe has been tweaked a lot over the years and had been tweaked for Zoë Bakes Cookies since the post was updated. I have removed the amounts from that section so as not to cause confusion for others. Thank you for pointing it out!

The cookies were yummy, perfect amount of crisp on the outside & chewy inside. They were very sweet. Confused why the recipe says 1 1/2 cups or 300 g of brown sugar, but the notes say 1 cup?
