Chocolate Chip Cookies (Nestle Toll House version)

Jump to Recipe

This Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe was one of the earliest (or actually the first recipe) that I ever used when I began baking. I have been using this recipe to this date and it is one of our families favorite one.

Chocolate Chip Cookies one over the other

Are you one of the people who like to try out the recipes on packages? I sure like to try out recipes that are written on the packages.

There are few recipes that work out and there are few that just do not satisfy your taste buds. This recipe was one of the earliest (or actually the first recipe) that I ever used when I began baking. I have been using this recipe to this date and it is one of our families favorite one.

I do make other versions of chocolate chip cookies, but this one is our favorite.

I found this recipe on the package of Nestle toll house semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels. The recipe yields are soft in the center and crunchy on the outside cookies.

They are chewy gooey and loaded with the goodness of chocolate. If you are a nut lover you could add any chopped nut of your choice.

I made these cookies this afternoon for taking it to my son’s soccer match. I made them without nuts just to make sure that all the kids can eat it. There are few tips that I have included at the end of the recipe to ensure deliciously baked cookies.

  • I bake one tray at a time and rotate the tray once in-between for even browning. Also insulating the baking sheets allows even browning of the cookies. I noticed that baking with just one tray caused the cookies to have a dark base and light top.
Changing sides of the tray
  • Let stand for 2 minutes and then transfer the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookies are cooling
  • Store in an air tight container.
