The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe (2024)

The milk chocolate and white chocolate chips and butter flavored shortening really put this recipe over the top as a crumbly and memorable treat.

Farmhouse Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

A trick that my family uses when craving these cookies is that we like to make a big batch and only bake part of it. We make the rest of the dough into balls using a cookie scoop and put them in freezer bags in the freezer.

The balls of frozen cookie dough are super easy to bake! When we want fresh baked cookies we just grab however many balls of dough we want, set them on a cookie sheet and pop them in the oven. Frozen dough only takes a minute or two longer to bake and the result is just as delicious!

I grew up on a farm and I’m blessed to have a mom that is a great cook and willing shares those skills with our family. She still makes great meals and great cookies like these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. These are the kind of cookies that someone who really knows how to bake makes! Her cookie recipes are the ones that you look forward to finding a fresh batch of sitting out on the farmhouse table.

Since we milked cows butter is the rule for taste and quality when baking. I can really notice a difference in the texture of the cookie when using butter and shortening. It makes a silky feel and is the sign of farm fresh quality. Using the right baking sheet makes a difference and helps keep the high-quality texture in each cookie. I like a stoneware sheet like this that holds in the heat longer.

How to Make Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Using the blender on medium or high speed with chips in the dough may cause chips to break, use low speed or stir in by hand to avoid this problem
• Perfect chocolate chip cookies use real butter, margarine will change the texture of the cookie
• Freeze extra dough in shaped cookie balls so that fresh baked cookies are always a few minutes away
• Frozen dough only takes a minute or two longer to bake
• Remove from oven when cookies are still slightly gooey in the center
• Remove from oven just before the edges begin to brown for a super soft cookie – this skill takes practice, but it’s worth it!
• Allow cookies to rest 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then move to cooking racks
• Enjoy cookies warm and with a glass of milk
