Chewy chocolate chip cookies are perfect for any day or season. They are an ideal treat for all times of the year.

Here is my all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. These cookies are soft, sweet, and jam-packed with chocolate goodness.

A neighbor gave this recipe to me many years ago. The recipe you see here is not the exact recipe she shared…because I always have to make changes to recipes, it’s a character flaw. (Insert innocent giggle here.)

Notes

To make a uniform batch of cookies, use a medium-sized ice cream scoop to spoon your dough onto the sheets.
