Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
GUEST POST: Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Hoosier Homemade
In just 23 short days, Christmas will be here! As the anticipation of the holiday builds, our schedules all get a little busier, but making time to bake cookies is always at the top of the list. Hi there, Katrina’s fans, I’m Liz from Hoosier Homemade and thrilled to be here for the I’ll Bring the Cookies Event! Whether I’m sharing a mouthwatering dessert, a crafty idea or helping you decorate your home, I STRIVE to help Moms and Women “Be Heroes to their Families”! Growing up I loved helping my Mom bake Christmas cookies, the Dining Room table was often lined with newspapers and filled with lots of different cookies. And although I loved all of the different fancy cookies at Christmas time, our family has grown to love the classics.
One of the traditions that we carry on from my Mother-in-law is setting up a treat table during the Holidays and right next to the Homemade Chex Party Mix are these Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I know to some they really don’t seem too much like Christmas, but for our family they remind us of both Grandmas.
Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter flavor Crisco {you can use regular butter, I like how soft the cookies are when Crisco is used}
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups milk chocolate chips {or semi-sweet if you prefer}
Instructions
- Beat the butter flavored Crisco and sugars until fluffy
- Add the eggs, vanilla and milk until well combined
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add to the creamed mixture
- Stir in the chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Use a cookie dough scoop to make the cookies uniform in size. Scoop dough, roll into ball and place on greased cookie sheet
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until light golden
Thanks so much for having me Katrina! It’s been an honor to share our family favorite cookies with you and your readers! Most of the time you will find me elbow deep in cupcake batter, but if I’m not baking up a batch of cupcakes, you can usually find me over at Pocket Change Gourmet, where my husband and I blog together, sharing Budget Friendly Recipes for your family!

Thank you so much to Liz! My husband will pass up almost any cookie for a warm soft chocolate chip. No cookie party is complete without it.

Hubby wanted chocolate chip cookies w/o the chips.?? I made your recipe and baked them on a Silpat mat instead of a greased pan. I used a #40 scooper. Do you flatten them a little or leave them as they are? I left them as they were. I had to bake them a tad longer, either because they were pouffy or because of the mat. What do you think? I baked them a total of 10-12min.
Just love your sugar cookies. 😊❤😊
OMG i made these and cookies just cant get any better! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE! i am making these to fund raise for world vision and i was really hoping that they would turn out good and to be honest they definitely cannot get any better, super chewy, super soft ……just PERFECT! thank you so much for the recipe! 😀
i will be making these when ever i get the chance!
BTW i added mini m’n’m’s as well as choc chips and i think they are the perfect combo!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This recipe is PERFECT! Both SOFT and CHEWY. No more searching for a chocolate chip cookie recipe…I have found it! The kids and even my hubby say it is a keeper. Thank you again 🙂 ♥
I made these last week for at home and work and they are sooo delicious. I’m making my second batch now for my son’s class snack tomorrow. But I’m using white chocolate chips this time. Yummy!
Hi! These cookies look amazing 🙂 I can’t wait to try them! Did you use granulated sugar and plan (all-purpose) flour?
Yes- thank you for asking.
These ARE the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies ever! My daughter made them two days ago and they are still as fresh and soft as when they came out of the oven. She used butter not shortening and they were perfect! Throwing out all other Chocolate Chip recipes. We don’t need them any more! Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing your recipe!
So glad you are a fan! Our family loves this recipe too.
I want these right now!
These are a classic at our house during the holidays too!

I love soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies. I don't think I could live on them but I'd like to try it for a week or so. Lovely to meet Liz and I'm off to visit her now.
They look great! And I think Christmas cookies are whatever give you nice memories. So there. They're Christmas cookies. 🙂 But most importantly… they're soft and chewy!
