    I need a bite of Chipless Chocolate Chip Cookies! Have you tried a Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe without chocolate chips? Seems strange for sure, but the buttery cookie is fantastic and always a favorite chewy cookie.

    Chip-less Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I've always loved chocolate chips loaded into cookies. To take a warm bite of cookie with chocolate was heaven. Until I was shown a new perspective.

    In came "chip-less" cookies a chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips. My mind was blown by something so simple.

    These buttery cookies make the best chewy cookies ever. I love that in every bite you can taste the brown sugar sweetness with a bit of the added salt.

    As the edges turns golden, the centers stay soft and you can even top with sea salt for a little added flavor too. It's fun.

    Shopping list for Chocolate Chip Cookies No Chocolate Chips

    Dry Ingredients. All Purpose Flour, Granulated Sugar, Brown Sugar, Baking Soda, and Salt

    Wet Ingredients. Butter, Egg, Vanilla Extract

    Other Ingredients. None, remember there aren't any chocolate chips in these cookies.

    How to make Chocolate Chip Cookies no Chocolate Chips

    It's a mouthful to say Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies without Chocolate Chips and hopefully you will love your mouthful of delicious cookie too. Gather the ingredients before you begin.

    Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone liner. You will also need a large mixing bowl, hand mixer or a stand mixer, medium cookie scoop, wire rack, large spoon, rubber spatula, and measuring cups and spoons.

    In a mixing bowl cream butter and white sugar together until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes. Make sure to scrape sides of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed to fully mix ingredients together. Add egg followed by Vanilla Extract and Brown Sugar and continue to cream ingredients for another 3 minutes.

    In a separate bowl combine all purpose flour with baking soda, and salt. Carefully add dry ingredients a little at a time until fully combined.

    Cookie Dough Scoop

    Using a medium cookie scoop for a standard size cookie place cookie dough on baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven. Cookies are done baking with edges are set and the center of the cookie dough is no longer glossy.

    Cookies continue to bake on cookie sheet while cooling. Allow cookies to remain on baking sheet for a couple minutes before moving to a wire cooling rack.

    Once cookies are fully cooled, store in an airtight container.

    Pro Tips

    Room Temperature. Allow butter to sit on counter for 1 hour. This helps to soften butter. Do not use butter that has turned to mush or the cookies will be flat and spread.

    Baking Sheets. It's a good idea to do a test batch with 1 or 2 balls of cookie dough to test oven temperature and time before baking an entire sheet.

    Measuring Ingredients. Adding too much or too little ingredients will make a difference in the cookie texture and taste. When possible use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients. Flour can also be measured by whisking air into the flour then carefully scooping flour into measuring cup and level off top.

    Baking Time. Cookies are done when edges are set and centers are no longer glossy. This will give you a nice chewy cookie texture.

    Cookie Scoop. Using a cookie scoop is perfect for uniform cookies. A tall mound of cookie dough will result in less spreading.

    Storage and Freezing

    Storing cookies is ideal to save for later. These cookies won't last long because they are so good but make sure to store in an airtight container or use plastic wrap. Cookies will last up to 1 week but are best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.

    Freezing cookies is also an option. Make sure to place parchment paper or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking together when frozen. Cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    Freeze cookie dough in cookie dough scoops on a baking tray lined with parchment paper until frozen and then move frozen cookie dough to a sealed container. Bake for an additional 1-2 minutes depending on size of cookie dough scoop.

    Why make Chipless Chocolate Chip Cookies

    There are many reason why you should make Chocolate Chip Cookies without Chocolate Chips. Maybe you are not a fan of chocolate, although I can't even fathom that.

    Maybe you just love a CCC dough and want to see what it tastes like without chips. The flavor is buttery, rich with complex flavor that really stand out when the chocolate chips aren't present.

    For best results, crispy edges, and soft centers make sure to follow my advice of mounding cookie dough using a cookie scoop for uniform size cookies. It makes a difference while baking.

      I can usually only eat one chocolate chip cookie and then my stomach can’t handle any more. These are the perfect alternative! Soooo delicious, especially made with Kerrygold butter! I’m kicking myself now for only making half of a batch!
