The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. I grew up learning recipes from my grandmother, and even though traditional Greek sweets filled my childhood, I’ve always had a sweet spot for chocolate chip cookies.
The best part? I love baking when I’m in a hurry, and that’s why no-chill chocolate chip cookies are my go-to treat. No waiting for dough to rest in the fridge, no complicated steps just mix, bake, and enjoy warm cookies straight out of the oven.
I remember the first time I made these for my kids. I thought they wouldn’t turn out chewy without chilling, but oh, was I wrong! The cookies had golden edges, soft centers, and melty chocolate chips in every bite. These cookies prove that sometimes simple is better and faster.
So, if you’re craving cookies but don’t want to wait, this recipe is for you. These no-chill chocolate chip cookies are quick, easy, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients for No-Chill Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here’s what you’ll need for this quick cookie recipe:
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (350 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Cream the Butter and Sugars
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. This step gives the cookies their soft, chewy texture.
Step 2 – Add Eggs and Vanilla
Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 3 – Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Step 4 – Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips. The dough should be thick but scoopable.
Step 5 – Scoop and Bake
Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy these no-chill chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven with a cold glass of milk, or let them cool and stack them high on a plate for sharing. They’re perfect for lunchboxes, family gatherings, or those late-night sweet cravings when you don’t want to wait.
They also make a thoughtful homemade gift wrap a few in parchment paper, tie with a ribbon, and you’ve got a little bundle of love straight from your kitchen.
