It can be hard to find treats that satisfy the whole family; kids want sweets, while grown-ups crave something more complex. That is why you have to try this delicious hybrid recipe for Chocolate Chip Sugar cookies. They’re the not-too-sweet treat the whole family will agree on!

If you polled a hundred people about their favorite cookie, you’d hear about two cookies the most: chocolate chip and sugar cookies.

But can you add chocolate chips to sugar cookies!?

Yes, you can! That is why I love this irresistibly easy Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies recipe!

This no-chill cookie recipe makes a lovely sugar cookie with the exciting addition of bittersweet chocolate. Chocolate Chip Sugar Cookies are the best of both worlds, and they are sure to impress at holidays, parties, or just because, so grab an apron and let’s get baking!

🥘 Ingredients

• Unsalted Butter: Grab some cold diced butter to bring these baked sweets a lusciously rich and creamy flavor!
• Granulated Sugar: Granulated white sugar is the classic choice for the satisfying sweet flavor in sugar cookie recipes.
• Baking Powder: Baking powder is a leavening agent that makes cookies rise and gives them a satisfying chew!
• Salt: Salt brings everything together and allows sugary flavors to sparkle.
• Egg: Egg is an essential binder and leavening agent in cookie dough. Use fresh chilled eggs to get your dish's best taste and texture.
• Vanilla Extract: Vanilla is a bean that grows from a tropical tree. It has a wonderfully woody, sweet, and smooth taste that brings out the best in sugary cookies!
• Flour: All-purpose flour is an excellent choice for building a tasty texture in these sweets.
• Milk and Dark Chocolate Chips: These irresistible chips are the highlight of the recipe! You can use one or both to suit your tastes. I am huge fan of chocolate chunks, but you can use mini chocolate chips as well.
