Chunky & Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chunky & buttery chocolate chip cookies were the result of an afternoon in isolation where we were absolutely bored – and were craving the odd sweet treat because we all know cookies make everything better.
I end up craving the weirdest things at the weirdest times, but for once it’s some sort of normal food and, I don’t know about you, but there is nothing normal about me.
I am a self-confessed lover of Ben’s Cookies – they are absolutely to die for – and whenever I was central, I would buy a box to take home.
The girls would be elated and I would fight them for the last one – like the great big sister that I am – and you know how it ends. I win – in case you were wondering.
Then a few days (maybe more like weeks?) ago, we shared those on Instagram stories and a few people were interested in the recipe, so who am I to deprive you of these bloody amazing chunky & buttery chocolate chip cookies?!
Chunky & Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 250 g unsalted butter
- 200 g white sugar
- 200 g brown sugar
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 410 g flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 100 g chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small bowl, measure all your dry ingredients – minus the chocolate chips.
- In a larger bowl, cream your butter with the sugars until it’s fluffy and light.
- Add the eggs, one at the time, and keep beating until they are incorporated.
- Now add the vanilla extract and start adding the dry ingredients slowly – it can get very messy!
- Once the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, add the chocolate chips and fold in by hand using a spatula.
- Divide the dough using an ice cream scooper or by hand, rolling so that you create some balls – they shouldn’t be bigger than 4cm.
- Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes at 180°C.
Notes
These chunky & buttery chocolate chip cookies never last around here.
We found them perfect because they do not need to be refrigerated before baking, and they are ready in literally 30 minutes.
While we do not advise eating raw cookie dough – that my friend, is a pleasure we seem to enjoy slightly too much as well ha!
We have yet to try to freeze the uncooked dough, but it can easily hold in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just in case you need a pick-me-up while #wfh.
These are one of the few ways in which I eat chocolate, and there is absolutely nothing better than a cookie, trust me.
Did you like this recipe? Why not PIN IT for later?

Ohh these look delicious
Thank you Alice x
Yum! I love chunky chocolate chip cookies! I haven’t had Ben’s Cookies before. But the ones you baked looks delicious! Big plus when it’s easy to just bake and enjoy! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Nancy x
Love the look of these – and your photos are fab!
Thank you Katy – you’re too kind xx
These sound utterly delicious! I will need to give these a try!
Thank you Sarah x
Oh wow,
These look absolutely delicious. Can not wait to give your recipe a try!
Thank you Billie, let me know what you think of it x
These look delicious. The recipe is similar to the one I use but I will definitely give yours a try.
Thank you Jessica – I hope you’ll like it x
Ooh, how is the texture like? Are they the chewy kind? I love chewy cookies, and these look delicious! I thought I would be one of those Instagrammers who baked all day while living under a lockdown back in June 2020. However, I procrastinated so badly that all of my baking equipment is still in pristine condition, with the packaging still sealed. If I ever bake anything, this recipe would be at the top of my list. Thanks for sharing!
They are definitely the chewy kind – the only way I love them! You should definitely start baking Ming, I absolutely love it and find it very relaxing!
Honestly, I often look forward more to the cookie dough than the cookie when it comes to making chocolate chip cookies. I’ve been craving cookies as well and am baking some similar to the NYC Levain Bakery style soon. Thank you for sharing these tasty looking cookies!
I know – I am addicted to raw cookie dough!! I have yet to try the Levain Bakery cookies, but I would say they are slightly different from theirs as not as chunky!
You reproduced the recipe which is actually great.
I love the less prep and cooking time.
Who doesn’t love enjoying eating raw dough 😉 :p
I love baking too and usually refrigerate dough in the fridge and bake it the next day, be it for a cake or biscuit. Guess it can work for your dough too.
Absolutely love the shot where you are breaking the biscuit in half.. it ups the curiosity and you want to see more. Thanks for sharing xx <3

You can tone down the sugar a bit, I am sure! They won’t last though….eaten in minutes, hot from the oven xx
Although I have a (not by choice!) gluten and dairy free diet, I always love reading recipes to get inspiration for things I can make myself. And these looks gorgeous! Before my dietary requirements took over, I was also a Ben’s Cookie-aholic! And yours look delish 🙂
Oh no Ellie, I am sorry this recipe won’t be for you – I would love to see how you adapt it, I am sure you know the tricks and secrets here x
This left me so hungry! These look so incredible, I’m going to try making them as a pre-Valentine’s treat for my girlfriend, thanks for sharing the recipe!

I adore cookies and you’ve got me cravng some now. I can’t have these as they’re not vegan but they could easily be adapted. Siobhan ♡
Oh, I’d love to know how you would adapt this as my flatmate is vegan and is starting to hate me for baking non-vegan treats lol
Sounds delicious ?

AHAH Ben’s Cookies are just THE BEST yes! They have closed loads of their shops here in London and god knows when we will be allowed out next, so I had to take matters into my own hands x
Thanks for sharing! These look amazing, and I love baking. Cookies are my fave thing to make xx

Homemade cookies hit a certain spot that I love. Freshly baked warm cookies are delicious! I love how you outline the recipe perfectly and include how long the cookies typically last for, even though they won’t last a day in my home, let alone five! Thank you for sharing this recipe. ?
Do we live in the same household?! Nothing lasts here either ahah x
