Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Cookies for Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients. This helps them mix better and creates a smoother dough.
- Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- For thicker cookies with a chewy center, chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading too much during baking.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the baking sheet. This ensures even baking.
- Stick with the recommended baking temperature of 350°F to get soft, chewy cookies with crisp edges.
- Cookies continue to cook on the baking sheet even after you remove them from the oven. Take them out when the edges are golden but the center is still soft.
- Experiment with different chocolate chips—dark, milk, or even white chocolate! You can also add nuts or other mix-ins for extra flavor.

Yes, Gold Medal All Purpose Flour is an excellent choice for chocolate chip cookies. It provides the right balance of protein to create a chewy, soft texture.
It’s possible to substitute all-purpose flour with another flour brand, but it may affect the texture and flavor of the cookies.
Homemade cookies will stay good for about 4–5 days at room temperature if stored properly in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
While you can bake cookies at 400°F, it’s generally recommended to bake them at 350°F to prevent the edges from browning too quickly while ensuring the middle is fully cooked. If baking at 400°F, reduce the bake time slightly.
