Classic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Classic Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the recipe that America grew up on. The "Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie" is the standard by which all other cookies are judged. It strikes the perfect balance between crispy edges and a soft, chewy center.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic lie in the ratio of brown sugar to white sugar. Brown sugar provides moisture and chewiness (thanks to molasses), while white sugar encourages crispiness. Using equal parts of both gives you the best of both worlds.

Tips for Success

• Room Temperature Butter: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted. Melted butter will cause the cookies to spread too much.
• Don't Overmix: Once you add the flour, mix just until combined. Overmixing develops gluten and makes tough cookies.
• Chill the Dough: If you have time, chilling the dough for even 30 minutes develops the flavor and improves texture.
