“I am a chocolate chip cookie SNOB. And these things were incredible.
Perfect soft and chewy cookie.” Katie
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
3 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 cups flour (more or less to texture, see notes.)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Directions:
Cream butter then add the sugars until mixed well. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda then slowly mix into the wet ingredients. After fully combined, pinch your dough - the texture should be soft without sticking to your fingers. If it is sticky, add more flour. If it is dry, add a tiny bit of milk. Once your dough is the right consistency, fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop 1” balls onto a greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper or a baking mat).
Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-10 minutes
Take them out of the oven before they appear golden on the edges and let them set up and finish cooking on the cookie sheet. Once they have slightly sunken and have sat at least 5 minutes, remove them to finish cooling on a rack (or enjoy warm with some milk!)
TIPS:
Dough consistency is more important than the recipe. Add more or less flour depending on your altitude and humidity. The dough should feel soft and a little gooey, but without sticking to your fingers.
Let them set up on the pan! If you bake your cookies thoroughly in the oven until they are golden on the edges they will be more dry and brittle. For a softer cookie, take them out just before and let them rest on the pan.

Hey thanks for trying my cookies!
I'm going to do this recipe things "backwards" since I know 99% of you will skip to the recipe anyway, right?
I kept this recipe, and mostly my tips, secret for YEARS.
Everyone loves my cookies and always ask for the recipes, but I thought it was so fun to have my secrets. People would ask me to make them cookies and I loved that it meant I got to make more cookies for others.
A few times my mom or a friend would even make them side by side with me and mine would always turn out better. (Their words first!) It's all in the tips. Dough consistency, the pinch test, and letting them firm up on the pan, not in the oven.
And if you really want to make them incredible, hand mix them. I NEVER use an electric mixer for my cookies. It's more fun for me, and I think the consistency is better. But maybe I'm just a little too particular about cookies...
I don't remember what turned my mind to share these secrets with you, but I decided it was time. I want everyone to experience amazing cookies. And I'm really curious where you stand with them.
Are you a Crumbl or Chip fan? (or whatever other cookie company?)
PLEASE try these and tell me honestly if you like these or the shop kind more.
Maybe it's just for my ego, but I think mine are better, and mine are loved around the globe too! Well, the USA and Brazil so far. So if you try them and you're from somewhere else I'd love to know too! (and maybe message me to make sure we adjust the recipe to your humidity/altitude)
If you love the recipe, please share and tag me on Instagram @lindseyuniversity
It makes my whole day! xo Lindsey
