Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Baking is my past time during the holidays. I found the best chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe. What is the perfect chewy chocolate chip cookie? I love a homemade chewy cookie that remains chewy days after baking. On Pinterest, there are hundreds of recipes for a “chewy” chocolate chip cookie and it varies depending on the combination of ingredients. I found the perfect recipe that incorporates cornstarch(this was a first for me) and this was from GrandBabyCakes. This year I added my sea salt in place of regular salt.
This was my first time using any of these recipes and this was clearly a great recipe and KID APPROVED! My kids could not stop eating.

There are some really great tips on how to get a perfectly chewy cookie. One tip includes under baking the cookie for a chewy cookie. I wanted to stick as close as possible to the recipe, however, on my next batch, I am definitely going to remove from the oven a few minutes before the full baking time.
Tips*: Refrigerate for 2 hours instead of 1 hour. Watch time closely!
