Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies – classic chocolate chip cookies that stay super thick, chewy, delicious and turn out perfect every time!
Warm, gooey, straight out of the oven chocolate chip cookies are one of my favorite treats ever. I have tried many recipes over the years. I grew up with this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. We always made the same recipe, I have had it memorized since I was probably 8 years old.
That along with homemade brownies. We pretty much rotated between 2 desserts, and I can make them in a snap straight from my head to this day.
I grew up in the Mid-West, but moved to Colorado about six years ago. The altitude likes to mess with cookies! So I have been on the quest for Perfect Chocolate Chip cookies every since.
These thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies work at altitude and sea level! They have that great buttery flavor you are used to, and stay thick no matter where you live. And an added bonus…they use melted butter! So you don’t have to wait for your butter to soften.
Do you want your cookies to turn out pretty with chocolate chips scattered on top like the picture? As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, while they are cooling on the baking sheet put a few chips on the top of the cookies. The more chocolate the better, right?!
So if you want to mix up your classic cookie recipe, want to make sure your cookies come out nice and thick, or just are craving warm gooey cookies give this Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe a try!

LOL! I see that you are in CO. So when saw the title of this posting, I thought you were going to talk about the bath products store HQ’d in Denver, Melt.
Still, I found this post very informative, if just different from what I expected. : )
Oh my gosh those look AMAZING!
Everyone should have a great chocolate chip cookie recipe, and this one looks amazing!!
I’ll take a dozen, please!
We all need a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe! They look so good!!
I need a stack of these and a large glass of milk! So perfect for today.
Oh my word these cookies look PERFECT!
I love these cookies! I have to bake these up soon!
So…do you think these would work as bars in a 9×13? I typically take things in to work, and having individual cookies can be hard; people often like to cut off a bar in a size they prefer. 😉 Thoughts? THANKS! These look awesome – I’m going to make them either way!
They will bake up great as bars. The texture changes slightly, so they won’t be quite the same, but great to bring into work!
Thank you! I hope to try them this weekend. 😀
