Chewy Chocolate Cookies

These Chewy Chocolate Cookies are one of my favorites because they are so easy to make and freeze really well. They’re my go-to when I’m craving something quick and chocolately and also when I need to make a big batch for a crowd.  I love cookies that have crisp edges and chewy centers, and these cookies are just that.

Toss in some chocolate chips to add more chocolate flavor or sandwich around a giant scoop of ice cream for a perfect ice cream cookie sandwich.  These are my go-to cookies to gift for friends or neighbors.  The kids like to drizzle them with melted chocolate and sprinkles.

Pro tip: Roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar before baking.  I use a medium cookie scoop to make these chewy chocolate cookies uniform in size.  Let them rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire baking sheet to fully cool.  They will continue to bake for the perfect gooey, chocolately, consistency.

This is also the same base recipe I use to make my Reese’s Pieces Chocolate Cookies.
