Yesterday I did a Live cooking segment for a local television station. I made my Black Bean, Avocado, and Mango Salad. I had a lot of fun. Thanks everyone for your kind words and support. You guys are the best! I will try to get a link to post on the blog.
Most of you know I am cookie obsessed, just check my recipe index for proof. My cookie section is a mile long:) When I was browsing through Alice’s blog, Savory Sweet Life, I noticed she had a recipe for the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever. I know there are a lot of people who claim they have the best recipe, but I love Alice and her blog, so I knew I had to give her cookies a chance. I trust her judgement:)
I made sure I followed the directions to a T. We weighed the flour and creamed the butter and sugars until they were very creamy. Alice’s step by step instructions and beautiful photos were very helpful. I loved that the recipe called for sea salt, a lot of brown sugar, and loads of chocolate chips…I knew these were going to be good.
We loved these cookies. The edges were nice and crisp, but the centers were soft and chewy. The chocolate chips spread nicely throughout the cookie. You can taste a hint of the sea salt which pairs perfectly with the buttery cookie and rich chocolate.
So were they the best? Try them and decide for yourself:) We will be making these again-thanks Alice! Do you think you have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe? If so, please share!
Alice’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe from Savory Sweet Life- recipe, tips, and photos here
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour (Alice says to weigh the flour, so we did)
1 tsp. smallish-medium coarse sea salt (Alice says to use sea salt and not table salt, so we did)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups/16 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips (Alice uses Nestle, we used Ghiradelli)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until it is nice and fluffy (approx. 5 minutes on medium speed on a KitchenAid Mixer.) Make sure the mixture gets VERY creamy. See Alice’s photos for details.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour until cookie batter is fully incorporated. Finally add chocolate chips until well distributed. The cookie batter should be somewhat thick. Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough or use a medium cookie scoop and plop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are nice and golden brown. We baked ours for 14 minutes, just watch them. Remove from heat and allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheet for an additional 2 minutes. Pick up the parchment paper with the cookies still on top and transfer to a cool non-porous surface. Allow the cookies to cool on the paper for at least 3 minutes before serving. It was hard to wait 3 minutes, but we listened to Alice:)

Okay … you got me hooked! I can never look away from a chocolate chip cookie recipe especially one that looks so good and comes with such high praise. I’m adding this to my list!
These look so inviting! Nothing like a delicious CC cookie!
Okay…definitely trying this recipe! My hubbie LOVES chocolate chip cookies!!
I saw these cookies when Alice posted them, but haven’t had a chance to give them a try yet. They look SO good!
oooh nice cookies and I cant wait to see the segment too!
Hi Maria,
I love that the flour is weighed. I wish more recipes came by weight instead of volume. I think the recipes are better that way. Great photos!
This recipe was a hit with my children! They don’t normally like cookies (wierd, I know), but they gobbled these up and didn’t want me to share them with anyone else. Thanks for sharing it with me!
These look pretty darn tasty to me!
They look great! Congrats on your TV stint… cant wait to see a link!
Crisp on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. Just the way I like them! The creaming of the butter and sugar (and the addition of sea salt) are key! I love my recipe for chocolate chip cookies, but I’m always happy to try other people’s recipes.
These look great. I love the use of sea salt, and will definitely try to make these.
I’m always on the search for the best chocolate chip cookie, and I think I may have found it! Can’t wait to give these a try. Thank you so much for sharing!
These sound great! All I know is, every time someone says they have “the best” of anything, I have to try it, and usually, without fail, it ends up being pretty darn good!
I made a double batch of these cookies yesterday and they were AMAZING!!!! I did not have sea salt sadly, so I did what Alice suggested and just used half the amount of regular salt. I looked in the cookie jar this morning and they are almost gone! I will make these again for sure! Thanks for posting!
Brooke-I am so glad you liked the cookies. Thanks for letting us know!
If these are the cookies that I ate when I came over a couple weeks ago…they are amazing! I ate one and then kept on eating.
hi!
these look amazing! would like to check though, when you say 350 degrees, you mean Fahrenheit right?
Cynthia-Yes, 350 F. Thanks for checking:)
