Easy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is for those of you who prefer your chocolate chip cookies chewy, not crisp.

These are super easy Chocolate Chip Cookies to make, thanks to the use of melted butter in the cookie dough.

Have you ever been frustrated waiting for your butter to soften before you could begin mixing your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough? Me too.

Then I discovered this great Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe that calls for melted butter, in the great cookbook, Mom's Big Book of Baking, from mom and pastry chef, Lauren Chattman.

Instead of baking up kind of flat and crisp, like Toll House cookies, these chocolate chip cookies bake up soft, thick, and chewy.

Although the ingredients in both chocolate chip cookie recipes are identical, using melted butter instead of softened and adjusting the ratio of brown sugar to white results in a delightfully chewy chocolate chip cookie!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Freezer Option:

Balls of the chocolate chip cookie dough may be placed next to each other on parchment lined baking sheets, frozen, transferred to plastic freezer bags, and stored in the freezer for up to 1 month. Frozen cookies may be placed in the oven directly from the freezer and baked as directed. They may take 1-2 minutes longer to finish baking.
