The Best award winning chocolate cookie recipe

I’m so excited to share with you my award-winning chocolate cookie recipe that has been a hit with my family and friends. I first discovered this recipe on a popular food blog, and after trying it out, I knew I had to make it a part of our regular baking routine.

The combination of rich, dark chocolate and the perfect balance of sweet and salty is just irresistible. My kids love helping me in the kitchen, and this recipe is always a crowd-pleaser.

We’ve made it for holiday gatherings, potlucks, and even just as a special treat after dinner. One of the things I love most about this recipe is that it’s not only delicious but also relatively healthy compared to other cookie recipes.

The use of whole wheat flour and the addition of nuts provide a nice texture and extra nutrition. As a busy mom, I appreciate that this recipe is easy to make in large batches and can be frozen for later use.

My family loves these cookies so much that they’re often requested as a special treat or even as a snack on-the-go. I’ve even started giving them out as gifts during the holiday season because they’re such a big hit with everyone who tries them.

This recipe has become a staple in our household, and I’m confident that it will become one in yours too.

🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet and/or milk chocolate chunks or chips

For the Topping

2 tbsp granulated sugar

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
4In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
5This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
6Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
7Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
8Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
9The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
10Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
11The dough balls should be about 1-2 tablespoons each.
12Lightly sprinkle the tops of the cookies with granulated sugar.
13Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
14The centers should still be soft.
15Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
16Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Enjoy!
