Easy chocolate chip cookies are without a doubt the most popular type of cookie throughout the world. There is nothing quite like that delicious cookie taste combined with the crunchy textures of the chocolate chips. Thankfully there are many easy chocolate chip cookie recipes that are suitable for even the most novice of bakers. You simply can not fail when you follow one of the time tested easy chocolate chip cookie recipes that have been published and shared by experienced cookie bakers.

When it comes to making chocolate chip cookies you have two choices. You can either buy a box of pre-packaged cookie mixture and follow the instructions on the box, or you can make the cookies yourself entirely from scratch. Although it must be said that the packaged cookie mixture are becoming better and more authentic, nothing quite tastes like baked cookies made from your very own ingredients without any other additives. They taste fresher and fuller, but if you are short on time then consider buying a pre-packed mixture.

To make cookies from scratch use the following ingredients:
Salt (one teaspoon)
Baking soda (one teaspoon)
Vanilla extract (one teaspoon)
Granulated white sugar (3/4 cup)
Brown sugar (3/4 cup)
Softened unsalted butter (one cup)
2 eggs
All purpose flour (2 1/4 cups)
Chocolate chips (cooking variety)

Once your oven is preheated to 370 degrees Fahrenheit, mix the baking soda, salt and flour in a bowl. In another bowl mix the butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract and white sugar until it is a creamy mixture. Then add the eggs and beat well. After the eggs are done, add in flour mixture. Add your flour and salt mixture in until a dough is formed then stir in chocolate chips.

Put mixture into a cookie tray, bake for around 10 minutes and let cool for 10 minutes before eating. Then enjoy eating your home made cookies!

Easy chocolate chip cookie recipes should not be complicated or overly fancy. The best chocolate chip cookies are those that are made with the basic ingredients and therefore without any other ingredients that will detract from that classic chocolate chip taste.
