Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. These are the best ever chocolate chip cookies!! These have been one of my family favorites for a long time now and still the one treat I give as gifts because it’s so much appreciated.
The Best EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies
I may not have enough food to go around at times but I always have enough cookies especially chocolate chip cookies. These are the default cookies that get ready when ever the jar is almost over.

The dough freezes well so I make a big batch, portion them into eight per ziplock bag and store them in the freezer.. guess what that makes me – the most popular cookie mom among the kids. Why? well when ever the kids are on play dates guess what’s i’m baking fresh out of the oven? The Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies. Mom happy kids happy what more can you ask right?
The BEST Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies
Well, with small kids at home going to play dates, play dates visiting them – you can’t afford to be without cookies. So I make double the batch and freeze half. When the first batch is over, the next batch goes into the oven.
And here’s what you have if you get the kids themselves involved. Twice the amount of Chocolate Chips. (but whose complaining – It’s chocolate Chips, right?)
Not the best photograph but If you have kids you know that these are still so perfect.

The BEST EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies
Freezing the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
As I said above I make a double batch and freeze the extras. The best way to freeze them is to use a cookie scoop/Ice-cream scoop and place them on a baking tray.
The Best EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies
Place the tray in the freeze. Once they are individually frozen (about 2 to three hours) Drop them in a ziplock bag. That way they wont’ stick together or loose shape.
When it comes to freezing cookie dough, some do very well while some don’t.
I usually freeze my Molasses Delights Cookie Recipe or Classic Gingerbread Cookies or Hamentashen Ozen Haman or Purim Cookies.

Are you like me that loves to experiments with your already perfect recipe?
Here’s a little experiment I did with this recipe. In these I added two full eggs instead of one egg and one yolk. The result extra chewy, less crispy. Amazing taste!!
Our family favorite is still the original recipe I have shared here.

These look delicious! If I want to use margarine instead of butter to make the recipe parve, how much should I use?
Yes, Just replace the butter for either margarine or veg shortening. Personally I prefer veg shortening but since it’s quite expensive in Israel, margarine will work just as well.
Let me know if you like them
Thank you! I hope to make them this weekend.
