Love these cookies and wanna branch out? Try a double chocolate chunk version using extra cocoa or swap in white chocolate and macadamias if you’re feeling wild. I’ve even mixed in caramel bits and a sprinkle of sea salt for fancy vibes. My grandma swears by peanut butter chips, and once I made a s’mores-version with mini marshmallows. Was it a mess? Yes. Was it worth it? Double yes. Play around. Cookies are for fun.
Serving Suggestions
- Dunk them in cold milk. Classic. No better combo, honestly.
- Sandwich ice cream between two cookies. Instant dessert win.
- Warm them up and crumble over vanilla yogurt for a crazy good breakfast treat.
- Share with friends (or, y’know, stash the leftovers for yourself if you’re feeling sneaky).
Common Questions
Q: Why do my cookies always come out flat?
A: You probably need to chill your dough longer, or check your oven temperature.
Q: Can I skip the cornstarch?
A: I mean, technically yes, but you’ll miss out on that championship softness everybody raves about.
Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: I wouldn’t. Butter really is what makes these super soft chocolate chip cookies shine.
Q: How long do the baked cookies stay soft?
A: If you store them in an airtight container, I’ve had them last up to a week…if they don’t get eaten first!
Q: Any nut-free tips?
A: Absolutely. Just make sure your chocolate chips are nut-free and you’re good to go.
