6-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies
Simple.
The singular word that makes baking my happy place.
Minimal ingredients in my 6-ingredient chocolate chip cookies allow the best in flavor after baking.
I love it when I can recreate a recipe, scale it back to just what it needs to be fabulous, and STOP adding ingredients!
Often, recipes have so much more than they need in them, that one taste clouds another.
If you need proof in the pudding for less is more, try out my 6-ingredient peanut butter cookies!
So, here’s the deal, six-ingredient cookies could have 2 potential additional ingredients but I don’t use them!
I’ll share that with you in the post.
You are limited only by your choice of chips!
Use chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, dark chips, lights chips, seasonal chips, whatever makes your chip cookie world rock!

Simple and True Flavors with 6-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies
You have read a lot of my recipes, and you know I keep them simple and true to their flavors.
Adding ingredients in, often just masks the flavor.
Naturally, chocolate chip cookies come with preset expectations based on previous cookies you might have tasted right?
So, here’s what you’ll need to know.
Forget what you have tasted and try these?
Why?
Because most of the ingredients you use in other chocolate chips will be in here just less of them.
You are using less so the cookies cost less.
Finally, the cookie turns out better than any other I’ve made!
Plus, it’s a nice solid, chunky cookie, which makes it better than those thin, flimsy cookies you’ve experienced before!
What You Can Change on This 6 Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookie
Have you tried my 6-ingredient peanut butter cookies? Mmm!
If you don’t like vanilla don’t add it, I, however, could not make this cookie without vanilla.
Next, if you prefer to dump in some oats, lessen the flour by about 1/4 cup and add in 1/4 c oats.
Do you prefer butterscotch chips?
Use them?
White chocolate chips?
Go for it.
For those that want to make this a 7 ingredient recipe, add in a dash of cinnamon if you like cinnamon and chocolate.
Really, this is a versatile chocolate chip recipe.
Last note on the change-ups.
If you don’t have Self-Rising flour, then add in both baking powder and salt.
