How to Make the Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Everybody claims to have the best chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, but they haven’t tried this one. These bakery style cookies are hands down the best, loaded with chocolaty goodness and pleasingly chewy. #cookies #chocolatechip

These chewy chocolate chip cookies are on my list of pleasure foods that I love, especially if they’re hot out of the oven. Nothing makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over like fresh baked, hot out of the oven cookies and a big glass of milk.

Do you ever freeze your cookie dough? I prefer eating my cookies hot, so I pretty much always double or even triple my recipe so that I can freeze some of the dough. Freezing the dough allows me to easily have a hot cookie whenever the craving strikes.

If you’ve never frozen your cookie dough, you should try it, it’s super easy to do. Just scoop your dough onto a cookie sheet and make sure the balls of dough aren’t touching. Then, place the pan in the freezer until the dough is completely frozen.

When the dough’s frozen take it out, place the dough into a freezer bag/container and return to the freezer. Flash freezing the dough before placing it in a freezer container keeps the dough from sticking together.

Now when a cookie craving hits, you just take out what you need, place it on a cookie sheet and bake. Hot cookies in minutes!

I have a tendency to overeat these cookies, because the are so delicious, but when I freeze the dough and only bake a few at a time, I don’t end up eating myself sick, which is really good for my waistline.
