How to Make Perfect Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Have you ever wondered how the mall cookies can be so soft and chewy without being flat?  I’ve been trying to perfect my Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for years.  I’ve been on the mission to create the best soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Best recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies and tips to make soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies.

I used to have problems with my cookies coming out flat.  They would look great in the oven, but once I took them out and they cooled down they get flattened.  It was frustrating.  I also love soft and chewy cookies.  I would find the cookies would be soft out of the oven but harden soon after.  My goal was to make perfect chocolate chip cookies.

Here are some tips to make chewy chocolate chip cookies.  At the end, I’ll include my recipe for what I think are the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies I have made so far.

5 Tips to Make Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Use egg whites for chewy cookies.  If a recipe calls for one egg, use 2 egg whites.2. Always put cookie dough on a cold or room temperate baking sheet.

2. If you are baking multiple batches, then run cold water over the baking sheets before placing more dough on it. This will help you make soft and chewy cookies.

3. Use cold dough if you want chewy cookies.  Refrigerate dough overnight or at least for a few hours.

4. Bake at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time for soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies.

5. My secret (shhhh….) – pudding mix.  Yes, use a box of pudding mix in your cookies.  Read my recipe below for details.
