As a kid, my mom would buy Market Day (a school fundraiser food sale) frozen cookie dough. Be it nostalgia or otherwise, those were really good chocolate chip cookies.
On a whim, I made Stella's Quick and Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies last night. They were really good cookie;, crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle, great flavor, but they weren't what I personally would call a perfect cookie. The nostalgia just wasn't quite there
So, I'm here asking the experts for your recipes so I can try them and experiment until I find the perfect (for me) quick chocolate chip cookie recipe that I can throw together whenever the craving for cookies hits

Over the years I’ve made [this not-from-SE-recipe](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/25037/best-big-fat-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie/) and it was really good.
After getting SE religion, I have made the [Levain-style cookies recipe and that was great](https://www.seriouseats.com/super-thick-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe).
I use this https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe but I don’t bother with browning the butter. I also use white sugar to brown in a 3:1 ratio instead of 1:1 as in the recipe. Gets me a crispy cookie like famous amos.
I made my own modifications of a perfect chocolate chip cookies. Scoop 2 oz and place them in a cookie tupperware and chilled them for at least 48 to 72 hours. Bake @ 360F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Tried a lot of them. Jacque Torres cookie is my favorite. And you don’t have to brown butter.

My go to is a slightly adapted version of Kenji’s brown butter cookies. I’ve become well known for them with my friends
Reading this ([Kenji’s cookie recipe](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe)) is what first put Kenji on my radar around 12 or more years ago.
I still use it all the time to rave reviews.
I just make toll house plus a handful of oats and pecans.
I don’t often look to Tasty for recipes but their 101 series isn’t bad and I like their cookies. They’ve got my favorite texture

Stella’s. We’ve made it a million times
