The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m Inaya, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Growing up, my grandmother taught me that baking is as much about love as it is about ingredients. Whenever the sweet smell of cookies filled our home, it meant comfort, laughter, and the joy of gathering around the table.
One of my favorite go-to treats is one-bowl chocolate chip cookies. They’re simple, quick, and absolutely delicious. I love recipes that don’t require too many dishes because honestly, who wants to spend forever cleaning up after baking? These cookies are chewy on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and packed with melty chocolate chips.
What I adore most about this recipe is that you can whip it up in less than 30 minutes, making it perfect for spontaneous baking sessions with kids, friends, or just for yourself on a cozy evening. With only one bowl needed, you’ll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying warm cookies straight from the oven.
If you’re craving homemade sweetness without the fuss, this one-bowl chocolate chip cookies recipe is about to become your new favorite.
Ingredients for One-Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Serves about 24 cookies)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients
Gently stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix this helps keep your cookies soft and chewy.
Step 3: Fold in Chocolate Chips
Pour in the chocolate chips and fold them evenly into the dough with a spatula. The cookie dough should be thick but easy to scoop.
Step 4: Scoop & Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop (or tablespoon) to drop dough balls onto the sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 5: Cool & Enjoy
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm for gooey chocolate bites or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Serving Ideas
These cookies are perfect on their own, but if you want to make them extra special:
- Serve warm with a glass of cold milk.
- Sandwich vanilla ice cream between two cookies for a fun treat.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a café-style touch.
- Pair with coffee for a cozy afternoon snack.
