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.
