These are freakin amazing! Especially w a little sea salt on top!
So glad to hear that!!
Can you freeze the dough then bake? Like if I need to make them ahead of time? Or is it best to bake then freeze?
Yes, you can freeze the dough! Scoop the dough balls, freeze on a tray until solid, then store in a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes to the bake time.
Yum!

My cookies were absolutely perfect!
That’s awesome! I’m happy you enjoyed it 😁
these are so chocolatey & flavorful! you don’t even need to chill it to get thick, chunky cookies. i was amazed by the results. they really are a dream 💗
Thank you so much! 🙂
First time trying one of her recipes, but won’t be the last!! These were delicious!!!
Thank you so much!
These are amazing!!! I love that the recipe is simple and they taste delicious.
Thank you so much!
This recipe worked out very well! They were super chocolatey and not too sweet! My family enjoyed them a lot. We have allergies and cannot try Crumbls’ version so we were excited to try these. Soooo good!! Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome! I’m glad y’all were able to enjoy the cookies!😁
These turned out PERFECT!! i doubled the recipe and just made them “normal” cookie size at 9minutes and they are soo good! I tried a previous recipe off another author on google and they were flat and wouldn’t hold together. These exceeded my expectations and so easy to make!
That’s awesome!
Can you make dough ahead and keep in fridge until ready to cook?
Yes, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 48 hours before baking, any longer and you should just freeze it. Keep it tightly covered so it doesn’t dry out and let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping if it’s too firm.
My family and friends loved them! I made these for a party and it was a crowd favorite. A chocolate chip cookie with a brownie consistency.
I’m glad y’all loved it!
These were a hit and so easy! I added mint chips as well. I love that you don’t have to spend the time to chill the dough and they turn out fluffy and yummy!
Thank you for sharing Jillian!
Help please! I know I did something wrong but don’t know what it was. They were 4 inch pancakes. delicious pancakes but…..
My baking powder is not expired and I was very careful with my measurements. Any idea of what I did wrong?
If your cookies spread into flat pancakes, the butter may have been too warm, or too little flour was added. Make sure the butter is just softened, and weigh your flour with a kitchen scale for accuracy. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking also helps prevent spreading.
Super easy to make and everyone loved them.
That’s awesome to hear!
Delicious! I made these with dark chocolate chunks instead of semi sweet chips (just what I happened to have on hand) and it was so good! Great recipe!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe!😁
