Another favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe!

August 11, 2011 by Emily Hill 10 Comments

I’m not gonna lie. We’re big fans of homemade cookies around here, especially your basic chocolate chip cookie. Our go-to recipe has always been the Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies on Allrecipes.com. But last night I wanted to try something new, so we found another highly rated chocolate chip cookie recipe on the site: Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Madison and Lauren whipped up a batch and they were delicious! I’m definitely going to keep the recipe on hand as a nice alternative to the pudding mix version.

Oh, and these freeze fabulously too. I froze the leftovers and taste-tested one just for you!

    How do these do at altitude? With my usual recipe, I usually have to add a ton of extra flour so they don’t turn out completely flat.

      We made them last night (in Utah) and didn’t make any changes. They didn’t flatten out like some other recipes. Perhaps dissolving the baking soda in warm water helps? The Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies always seem to turn out light and fluffy.
