The Best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

The Best Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

We love chocolate chip cookies that are thick, soft and chewy on the inside, slightly crisp on the outside, and filled with chocolate in every bite. These cookies are all that, and more. They get their delightful chewiness from a touch of sweetened condensed milk, and are super fast to make since they don’t require chilling the dough before baking.

Watch us make them here:
