Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes

In the mood for chocolate chip cookies but not sure which recipe to use? Here are some chocolate chip cookie recipes for different occasions. I tried to limit it to 4 in each category, which was tough!

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Melted Butter or Oil

Recipes for when you want chocolate chip cookies, but don't feel creaming the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Melted butter usually gives you cookies that are a flatter, denser, and chewier, but it really depends on the recipe. Here are four that I really like.

Big Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

Big and thick like Levain cookies, but with varying textures.

Bake Sale or Bakery Quality Cookies

The thick cookies in the category above are good for bake sales, but so are these. They're not quite as thick, but they are still large and easy to package as singles or in pairs. They're also perfect for making ahead of time because the dough needs to age somewhat.

Thin and Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies

ome are prettier than others, but they're all thin and buttery tasting. The Wegmans copycats are chewy, while the Kelce once are a little thicker with crunchy edges. The old Alexis Stewart cookies are very thin and usually crisp.

Back of the Bag Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vanilla-Rich Chocolate Chip Cookies are from the back of McCormick brand vanilla. Gold Medal's Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies also known as Mary's Cookies, are extremely reliable, and a lot of people love the Crisco Ultimate Chocolate Chip. For gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, the Cup4Cup back of the bag recipe is my top pick.

Interesting Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies all have "a little something". None of them are really off the wall or weird, they just include a flavoring or some technique that's a little different.

And More!

These are ones I just need to organize.
