It's no secret that I love to bake from scratch, but what you may not know is that scratch baking doesn't have to take a ton of time or effort. Sometimes we all just want a quick and easy cookie recipe. And sometimes a cookie craving hits and we need a warm, fresh cookie RIGHT NOW. That's where this quick and easy no chill chocolate chip cookie recipe comes in!
Quick & Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies from Scratch
These chocolate chip cookies could not be more simple to make. They come together in just two bowls with a whisk and a spoon (no stand mixer required). They're made with melted butter, so we don't have to wait for the butter to come to room temperature before baking. And, as the name indicates, there's no need to chill the dough before baking. You'll be pulling the first tray of cookies out of the oven about 30 minutes after you begin baking!
And, even though they're incredibly easy to make, no chill chocolate chip cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious! With two kinds of chocolate chips, a mix of brown and white sugars, and a full Tablespoon of vanilla extract, we're not skimping on flavor here. And did I mention that these cookies are seriously soft?! Alex took one bite and said these are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever made. And then he proceeded to eat several more (but who's counting?!).

Description
Make perfect, soft chocolate chip cookies fast with this no chill chocolate chip cookie recipe! For when you need delicious, homemade chocolate chip cookies, like, NOW. The first batch will be ready in just about 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 T vanilla extract
- 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. fine sea salt (plus more for sprinkling on cookies)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add melted butter, both sugars, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add eggs and whisk well until the mixture is glossy and a bit lighter in color, about 1 minute. Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes while you prepare the next ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, add flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt and whisk to combine.
- Give the sugar mixture a quick whisk and then add the flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to gently stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture. Stir just until mixed.
- Add both chocolate chips and stir just until blended.
- Scoop 1 ½ T balls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each ball of dough.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies will still appear pale and puffy when you remove the tray from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies are best enjoyed within 24 hours of baking but will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
Dough can also be frozen and baked at a later date. Check out this post for tips on freezing cookie dough.

Great recipe that I'll definitely use again! I got some crisp in the edges, but that works perfectly since we prefer a bit of crunch. I put a little extra salt in the dough, and it worked out amazingly after chilling the dough in the fridge for a few days. The no chill part works well since I'm impatient with chilling the dough, but I'll try and stick the leftover dough in the fridge next time, too. Thanks for a simple and reliable recipe!

I found your recipe after searching “no chill cookies” because, as you know, the inner Cookie Monster NEEDED them immediately. I decided to put all the dough in a 9x13 pan to make cookie bars, and they are so rich and carmely with the dark brown sugar and two chip varieties! As bars, they are thick and crisp on the edges with gooey middles. Mmm,. Thanks for a great and simple recipe!
