Hi my name is Alessia, I am Cosette’s guest on the blog today. I’m also her daughter. I had ideas on what to write, and I chose to write about chocolate chip cookies. The next day after school, she asked me if I wanted to be her guest in the blog and I said yes.
Why I Chose Chocolate Chip Cookies
I like chocolate chip cookies because they have chocolate bits in them and when you take a bite you taste chocolate and cookie with butter. You could make it for special events or for fun. I think it is fun to make them with kids. Follow the recipe below and have fun!

Loved these cookies and recipe was easy to follow! Only had AP flour, light brown sugar, flaky sea salt. I browned the butter to try to add some depth that I thought the other substitutions might have affected. Also only had salted butter so did less than half the salt recommended. These turned out huge & beautiful. I can’t wait to try again in the future! These would definitely impress at an event!

I made these gluten free using Bob's red mill 1 to 1 for the AP flour and then some superfine almond flour for the spelt, they are AMAZING. Definitely better when you let the dough chill in the fridge for a day or two (as most gf cookies are, gives the butter and egg more time to soak into the flour and makes it less grainy) but honestly really good baked straight after mixing, too!

Love those changes, thank you for leaving a review with your feedback!!! Enjoy!

I have been on the search for a good cookie recipe for over a yr now. I have tried them all and this one is by far my favorite one! So easy and I replaced the butter with plant based butter sticks with a 78% veg oil content and they spread so nicely and crip edges! The spelt flour was a nice addition. All gone! Thank you for this recipe!

This is my first ever batch of chocolate chip cookies from scratch. I had to make a few changes due to not having some of the ingredients. Only used all purpose flour, semi sweet chocolate chips, no chocolate salt, and light brown sugar. These cookies turned out delicious!! I read through so many different recipes and had a backup in case this wasn’t good. No backup needed! These will be my go to for now on! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!

These are the best chocolate chip cookies! They are so chewy and delicious. I could have eaten the whole bowl of cookie dough. It was amazing, so I knew the cookies were going to be great. They were so easy to make, and the spelt flour really added to the flavor. These will definitely be my new go to for chocolate chip cookies! Can’t wait to make them again....

I have searched for years for the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie and THIS IS IT!! I can't find spelt flour where I live so I use all plain. But this is wonderful! Thank you so much!

I, too, am a few years late to the party but so glad I found your blog on Pinterest! These truly are THE BEST chocolate chip cookies and now my go-to recipe. My entire family, especially my 6 nephews + 1 niece (ages 1 to 7 yrs) LOVE them. I haven't been able to find spelt flour at my local grocery store but use whole wheat instead and it works just as well. Thank you for sharing this yumminess with all of us, Alessia! Great job!
Cosette's Kitchen says
Awwww, so glad to hear this!!! Enjoy and glad the WW flour works!!!

I'm a couple of years late to the party--but you are so right, these are perfection! I love crispy/chewy cookies and these do not disappoint. They cook up well after being in the freezer too. I didn't have spelt flour, but that's now added to the shopping list. Thank you!
Cosette's Kitchen says
Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed them! Thanks for sharing!!

Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Cosette's Kitchen says
Absolutely!!!! The spelt flour gives them a little more chew and wholegrain. You can absolutely sub all purpose if you don't have it, or even bread flour.
