My Mom’s Famous and Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of my favorite treats to make (and eat), and beyond the delicious flavor they’re my favorite because they’re an easy homemade cookie recipe with few ingredients.

As someone who loves to bake and cook, I’m all about easy recipes that aren’t overly complicated and if you are too, you’ll love her simple chocolate chip cookie recipe. For as long as I can remember, my mom has always used self-rising flour in her cookie recipes and it makes things so much simpler.

Seriously, if you’ve never tried self rising flour cookies give these a try and you’ll never go back to using all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt again. They always turn out perfectly delicious and are so easy to make!

For me, making my Mom’s cookies brings back so many childhood memories. I honestly think we all have that one food item that takes us all back, and for me it’s chocolate chip cookies.

I can remember countless times being in the kitchen with my two brothers and my Mom, making a huge batch of her easy chocolate chip cookies, and it was always so much fun to help mix up the batter, carefully scoop out the cookie dough on the pans, and wait anxiously until the timer went off and they were cool enough to eat.

There’s seriously nothing better than eating warm cookies with a cold glass of milk, and enjoying it with the people you love the most. And now, as a Mother myself, I get to share those wonderful traditions with my own two precious boys, and make special memories in the process.

Searching for the best, easy chocolate chip cookie recipe to make for your family? Try my Mom’s Famous Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies for incredibly soft, gooey, and delicious chocolate chip cookies! These homemade chocolate chip cookies are made with self-rising flour and are so easy to make. 


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened butter* (2 sticks)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (I like to use 1/2 light and 1/2 dark)
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 12 oz package chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix butter, egg, and vanilla in large mixing bowl
  2. Add in sugar and brown sugar until creamy consistency has been reached
  3. Slowly add in flour 1/2 cup at a time until combined
  4. Carefully stir in chocolate chips
  5. Spray cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper
  6. Evenly spoon out cookie dough balls onto cookie sheet
  7. Place in 375 degrees preheated oven for 8-11 minutes until the sides and bottom are a light golden brown

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature but not overly soft or melted. I usually set mine out a couple hours before I want to make my cookies.
  • Dough can be refrigerated if you don’t want to bake your cookies immediately.
  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days

Oh and isn’t my polka dot platter the cutest? My Mother-in-law bought it for me a few years ago and I just love using it for serving my warm, delicious cookies.

While I couldn’t find an exact replica of it online, this red one is made by the same brand and it’s such great quality!

I don’t know about ya’ll but the most special gifts to me are the ones that are homemade. In case you want to make a batch of these delicious and easy homemade chocolate chip cookies for your own Mom, I created these cute little gift tags that can easily be printed at home on cardstock.

I purchased the jar from the Dollar Tree and used pink twine (also from Dollar Tree) to tie on the gift tag with a bow. You could also use these miniature mason jars, which would be SO cute!

    I jumped first to the recipe, and clicked “print recipe”. It lists “2 cups/4 sticks butter” and I immediately thought that was crazy! Back to article and it is half that amount – whew!
    I wonder if some people that mentioned dough was to soft or runny followed the “print” version?

      Hmm, that’s so strange! Whenever I click on it, it has the same amounts as listed in the recipe. The print recipe page is just the printed version of the original recipe, so it should be word for word the exact same. Sounds like it might have been some glitch in the plugin itself, but I appreciate you giving me a heads up. Sorry for the confusion!

    How much is a cup of softened butter? I see this a lot and don’t get it. Like is it chopped up to fit in the cup, or is it how much would fit in a cup if it was melted? The difference between those two is a lot.
    Its sold in ounces/grams so why does the unit of measure change when it comes to recipes?

      November 17, 2020 at 10:58 am

      Hi J, sorry for the confusion. 1 cup is the equivalent to 2 sticks of butter. In regards to butter in baking, sticks are 8 tablespoons (which equals 1/2 cup). On the side of a butter package, you’ll typically find a chart listing how much 1 tbsp is, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/2 cup which is 1 full stick. And yes, it’s just 2 sticks of butter softened to room temperature, NOT MELTED. I hope that helps clarify!

        Thanks for replying. I’m from Australia, so our butter is sold in grams, typically 250g or 500g, which is why i get confused when i see this. So 2 sticks is about 225g, which if it was in liquid form would fill 1 cup. I’m thankful for conversion charts, otherwise id have to melt it down just to see how much is needed.

    I loved these! I have a question though. I let the butter and the egg get to room temp before starting. Once I mixed everything in my dough was almost powdery but once I balled I up it sort of stuck together so I added more butter which was great but it was super salt for some reason lol. Either way they were fantastic! Didn’t know if u had any tips

      Hey Kaitlyn – thank you! Yes, you can totally freeze these. Simply refrigerate the dough for 1 hour after making them, roll them up into balls, and place into a freezer-safe ziplock bag or container. You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, you pop them right into your pre-heated oven, and you can expect to bake them an additional 1-2 minutes from the regular time. Hope you enjoy them! 🙂

    Hi Cara! I got a craving for chocolate chip cookies and had a bag of chocolate chips left over from Christmas baking. I didn’t have enough flour on hand for the recipe on the chocolate chip bag, which is the one I always make and is the one I grew up on. I also only use self-rising flour and have for years. I started searching on Pinterest (which I love) and ran across your recipe. After looking at the list of ingredients, I decided to make them. They were so easy to make. These are the BEST chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever eaten. Nestle toll house is not as good ( in my opinion). They just melt in your mouth, especially after they have cooled down and set for a while. This is my new recipe. Thank you for sharing your mom’s recipe. They are awesome! I don’t usually send my email on these sites, but I had to after I made these cookies, they rock! 🙂

      It’s mostly just personal preference. If I’m not in a hurry I will chill the dough because it helps all the flavors come together, but most of the time I don’t and it turns out excellent. Hope you love them once you try them out!

    My first time making Chocolate Chip cookies. Yes, I know that is strange as I am 64 years old and always made cheesecakes because that is what my husband likes the most. I only had Self-Rising Flour on hand and I can only get semi-sweet chocolate chips where I live now, as we were transferred to Qatar with my husband’s job. I wasn’t sure how big the cookie drops were suppose to be, so I used my medium size ice cream scoop. They took 12 minutes in my gas oven. Wow these turned out great. I am not the biggest chocolate fan and made them for my Aussie husband. I am from Charleston, SC, but even I like them to have a couple. I had made some Chocolate Chip Cranberry Pistachio for my Christmas Party next week, which this recipe would do for that also. Thank you so much for having posted this. I will never buy a store bought Chocolate Chip cookie again.

    So my cookies look like a pancake on the pan. I don’t know what I did wrong. I followed the directions exactly. Except for the chocolate chips. I used soy. And the sugar, I used 2 scoops of a 1/3 measuring cup because I didn’t have a 2/3. And I put my 2 sticks of butter in the microwave to soften them. I’m sure I did something wrong, but what?

      Hmm, sounds like it might have been the butter. You want to make sure it is only slightly softened and not melted. I’d try mixing it all up again and refrigerating overnight and then baking and see if that helps. That usually helps with issues with spreading. Hope they turn out next time- they’re delicious! 🙂

      Yes, you would just have to add the salt and baking soda if using all-purpose. 🙂

    Hi Cara- You had me at self rising flour! I have been looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses this kind of flour. With no measuring of salt, baking powder or baking soda it makes baking much easier and tastier. I will be trying this recipe tomorrow. Thanks!

    Hi Cara,

    It is such a pleasure being in your beautiful blog again. These chocolate cookies look absolutely delicious, I wish I had a bunch right now! Also thank you for sharing your childhood memories.

    I remember when I was a kid and my mom was trying to make cookies. me and my sister would somehow mess up the ingredients. My mom would just send us to play and continue the recipe by herself. I suppose we subconsciously wanted to play and that’s why we were messing up with the cookies!

    Thank you for the recipe! Have a beautiful day!

      Is one cup of butter accurate or was one stick meant? I followed the directions to a T but mine also came out like a pancake. I even tried chilling the dough.

        January 15, 2020 at 8:09 am

        Hi Rachel! Sorry to hear the recipe didn’t turn out for you. Yes, it’s 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) and this is pretty standard for most cookie recipes. There are so many variables with why something might not turn out right- it could be the weather, could be the ingredients themselves (you want to ensure nothing is expired), and always double-check you’re adding the right ratios of everything. When cookies turn out flat, it’s typically a sign that you didn’t have enough of a rising agent in your dough. I always use self-rising flour for these cookies but if you don’t have that you can use all-purpose flour + baking soda and salt. I’m sorry I can’t be more of help, but I hope you’ll give it another go – they really are delicious cookies! 🙂

            These are delicious! I had never made soft cookies before and was worried about overcooking them so may have taken them out of the oven too early, they came out a little bit too soft and crumbly.
            But they taste fantastic!

            Definitely not a problem! I served them with ice cream and we ate them with a spoon.

            I’ll leave them in a minute or two longer next time and see how that goes.

            Great recipe, so soft and buttery! I’ll definitely be trying this recipe out again soon😊

          I’m guessing the chocolate chips are semi sweet morsels instead of milk chocolate?

      Made these today and they were delicious! Full of chocolate chips and with a great buttery taste! Crunchy around the edge and soft in the center! What more could you ask for!?

      I have one question… my cookies puffed up in the oven and looked similar to the images on this recipe, but when I pulled them out of the oven, they flattened out to nothing. The chocolate chips protruded out of the flat cookie. Any suggestions or thoughts on why that might be? Thanks!

        Thanks Marci! Without knowing exactly how you made them, it’s hard to say, but I’d recommend making sure your butter is softened to room temperature but not too soft, and chilling the dough in the refrigerator overnight or at least a couple hours before baking them. This helps them keep their shape better when baking and helps bring all the flavors out. Also, be sure and not to press down on the cookies when baking them. Hope that helps, and so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
