Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are so fluffy and delicious! The only change that I have made is that I use 1 tsp of cornstarch instead of 2 tsp. But, that is just my preference. The original recipe is absolutely wonderful as is.
These cookies from Apple A Day are described as the Best-Ever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, thanks to a ‘secret ingredient’. Well, that caught my attention so I gave them a try and was not disappointed!

Nothing wrong with being a little lazy! Love a tried and true recipe! Thanks for sharing Nicole!
Funny that my ‘lazy’ post still takes a couple of hours to do if you account for photos, editing and writing the post. I think I may just be super slow 😛
Oh, wow! These look sooo gooey, soft and perfectly chewy. I love ’em!
Thanks! They are so soft and delicious!
What a nice write up! Thank you so much for all the blog love. Your series of “disappearing cookie” pics is so adorable!
Thanks Kelsey! I’m glad you liked the post and the pics. Thanks for this recipe, it is super tasty!
These look delicious! I’m excited to try them.

A cookie.. for me? Oh, how can I refuse!
Not going to lie.. definitely craving cookies right now!
I hope you enjoy! I’m always craving cookies 😉
These really are the BOMB DIGGITY!!! I will never try another chocolate chip cookie again!! Thanks Nicole!!
I’m glad you like them! They are so soft and fluffy. Thanks for stopping by, Anna 🙂
This is the best idea. I love baking in my Style.I`m from Italy miss skillet baking Pretty cool indeed.
I was excited to make cookies today for my 2 sick boys, but was disappointed with the final product. The cookies did not come out as pictured above. They came out looking like the ones on the recipe link page. I will say they are light in color and fluffy like others posted. Guess I was looking for a more chewy cookie like the picture above looks like. Thanks and I’ll still keep checking out posts.
Aww man, I’m sorry to hear these cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The only change I made to the original recipe was to decrease the corn starch from 2 teaspoons to 1 teaspoon. I too enjoy a light yet chewy cookie. I’m wondering if you noticed the reference I made to the recipe change. If not, maybe I should post the entire recipe directly on my site with the noted changes. Thanks for your feedback 🙂
Just made these and oh my goodness. They’re incredible. And they got rave reviews. Thank you!!
So glad they were a hit!!!
Just made these cookies, and they are fluffy and chewy! They do taste like dough/flour. Other than that they are really good and they are quick and easy to make!
These were easy and great!
I made these and they can out just as name “soft” however they tasted flour-y and a bit bland. I made these exactly as written above so I can’t figure out why this happened. Any advise ladies(or guys)?
Maybe you just need a little more flavor. I have heard that adding almond extract to cookie dough gives it a nice flavor. Just a thought 🙂
