this is the list of ingredients needed to make these no chill chocolate chip cookies

INGREDIENTS

  • Margarine: Instead of butter, margarine is used here making these cookies extra soft and a little chewy.
  • Brown Sugar: I love the flavor that brown sugar adds to this chocolate chip cookie recipe.
  • Granulated Sugar: To make sure that these cookies are sweetened a little more, of course, we also use granulated sugar in this recipe too!
  • Milk: This helps add a little more moisture to these already delicious chewy chocolate chip cookies.
  • Vanilla: Adding a little vanilla extract helps enrich the flavor of these tasty cookies.
Once the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk have been all blended together it is time to whisk in the eggs for these chewy chocolate chip cookies.
  • Eggs: Help bind the ingredients together, eggs also add a chewy texture to these no-chill chocolate chip cookies.
  • Flour: You can use unbleached or all-purpose flour for this recipe.
  • Baking Powder & Baking Soda: The combination of these two ingredients gives these cookies a lift and fluff without going overboard, while also adding an amazing texture.
  • Sea Salt: a pinch of sea salt goes a long way in accompanying the sweetness of these fool-proof chocolate chip cookies.
  • Chocolate Chips: Milk chocolate chips are a personal favorite and choice for this recipe, semi-sweet will work as well. You can also do half and half by using dark chocolate chips.
Folding in the chocolate chips is a very important step for this chocolate chip cookie recipe.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla with a hand mixer on low-medium speed.
  3. Add in your eggs, and change the speed to medium, mix until well combined.
  4. In another medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt using a spatula.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix using the hand mixer on low-medium speed until combined.
  6. Fold in your chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop cookies onto the baking sheet, three in a row and four down length-wise, with room left apart to spread across the baking sheet, about 1 ½ inches.
  8. Place in oven and bake for 8-12 minutes, until still soft in the center, golden brown on the bottom. AVOID OVER-BAKING FOR THE BEST TEXTURE. They will also look like they are not done in the center, they are done.
  9. Prepare a second baking sheet with parchment paper and repeat steps 9 thru 10.
  10. Once cookies are baked, allow them five minutes to cool before slowly transferring them to a cooling rack.

EXPERT TIPS

  • Margarine instead of Butter: This recipe uses margarine instead of butter. Using margarine makes these cookies extra soft, while still a little chewy.
  • Sugar Ratio: This soft chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for more brown sugar than white sugar. I like the added flavor of brown sugar.

RECIPE NOTES

Don’t Overbake: This is very important, you do not want to overbake these homemade chocolate chip cookies. I always recommend reducing cooking time by 1 min to ensure you don’t overbake as oven times do vary.

Add the additional minute/minutes until cookies are golden brown on the bottom, and looking a little undercooked in the center.

Margarine VS Butter: I also recommend using margarine instead of butter, however, butter works too.

Margarine adds a texture to these cookies making them soft but still chewy.

MAKE AHEAD FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS

Yes! You can freeze raw cookie dough. I recommend pre-measuring out the chewy chocolate chip cookies using your cookie scoop.

Quickly freeze them for 30 minutes, remove them from the freezer, place them in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag, lay flat while placing the dough in, and freeze again (flat lay) until ready to bake them.

Keep room between the dough balls when freezing to prevent the dough from freezing together, and lay the bag flat until the dough is completely frozen.

Bake the same way, just add 2-4 minutes extra to the baking time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use margarine instead of butter for chocolate chip cookies?

Margarine is a pretty common substitute for butter when it comes to baking. It is important to note that the final shape, texture, and taste of your cookies will be different from using butter.

Are chocolate chip cookies better with soft or melted butter?

Both are fine! It all depends on how you like your cookies. Softened butter, left to come to room temperature will create a thicker and chewier cookie. The same goes for using margarine.

Butter that has been melted or slightly melted, makes cookies more dense and fudgy. The shape of your cookies will be flatter. The same goes for using margarine.
