The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

Alex just knows when I’m heading to the kitchen to make something.

He’s my little helper.

We made the best chocolate chip cookies ever on this rainy Friday.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

He was so proud to hold the mixer by himself!

Mixing the cookie dough

He likes to crack the eggs too. Seriously, I just stood back, directed, and got pictures.

Cracking the eggs

Yes, that’s my thumb or finger. I scrambled so fast to grab this cute shot of his concentration with that scoop that I didn’t make sure I was outta the way. And no matter how I edited or cropped it, it looked weird, so there it is.

Cookie Pans

And kitties make everything better, no? Rubeus loves being in the midst of all our goings-on.

Kitty Helper

Alex wanted to put the pans in the oven all by himself. He managed super well and I was impressed!

Big Boy Baking Cookies

We baked them on two racks for 4 minutes, then switched them for another 5 minutes. Perfect!

Oven Racks

We didn’t wait for them to cool long!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 cups AP flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 12 oz chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350*
  2. Mix sugars, oil, and butter.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Add vanilla.
  4. Add the dry ingredients. You can whisk all that in a separate bowl first, but I just pour it right in.
  5. Use a little scoop or spoons to place balls of dough on cookie sheets. I like parchment paper or silicone mats to keep cookies from sticking.
  6. Bake about 8-12 minutes. I like them prettier and crunchier.

    Well, of course, you know with a teaser like “Best Chocolate Chip Cookies,” I hopped right over from #MommyMoments! These look delicious…and what an adorable helper you have! I also like to use a combination of butter and oil and of white and brown sugar in my chocolate-chip cookies. In fact, now I really want to bake up a batch! Thanks for sharing this “best” recipe! :)

    How do you like the Silpatt mats? Do they make a difference?
