Light and Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Light and Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies. These cookies are light and airy and filled with chocolate chips. They require no brown sugar so they are not as sweet as a traditional chocolate chip cookie, with a firm outside and soft and chewy inside.

Light and Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies 

A light and fluffy chocolate chip cookie WITHOUT brown sugar. This is a great recipe to pin and save for when you are out of brown sugar or your brown sugar is hard and unusable. It’s also light and fluffy and has a cake-like consistency. 

Light and fluffy chocolate chip cookies. You know when you stumble on a great recipe? Sometimes it happens by accident. My daughter wanted to make chocolate chip cookies the other night. It was very late, but I thought it sounded fun. So we checked to make sure we had all of the ingredients and found out that we were missing a couple of key ingredients – brown sugar and baking soda. It was too late to head to the store, so we improvised. Usually when this happens it can spell disaster. But in this case it turned out that we created a cookie that was unlike anything we had made previously.

Chocolate Chip Cookies are a very personal thing. People have their favorite recipes and ways of making them. You might love your cookie soft and chewy. I have a friend who overbakes her cookies so that they are crunchy and she can snap them in half and dip them in milk. I personally love a fluffy cookie that is not hard. This chocolate chip cookie is so light and fluffy – it kind of reminds me of a cake recipe. I think the reason is that there is no brown sugar in the recipe so the cookie is very airy. Also, we were out of baking soda and we googled how to make a cookie without baking soda and found out that you can substitute baking soda for baking powder. That might also be why the cookies turned out so light and fluffy.

I made these cookies twice more to make sure the recipe wasn’t a fluke. Each time the cookies came out light and fluffy. They don’t flatten out when you bake them, so they are very round also.

    This recipe did not work at all! They just spread all over the baking sheet, even after I chilled the dough. The measurements are definitely off.

      Hi! It’s really weird. I think it might depend o what altitude you live at. Are you at sea level?

    Hello Jen,
    I made these cookies twice. The first tim they flattened all across the cookie sheet but still managed to be fluffy.and cake like and delicious. The second time i refrigerated the batter but the cookies still spread. Not as much as the first time though. I decided to add more flour to the second batch and that produced a much better cookie but still not the ones you picture on your blog. I love the flavor and texture of this cookie. Can you give me any suggestions to make my cookies turn out like yours?

    Thank you!

    This recipie was a flop. These turned out flat and spread like crazy. I’d cut the butter back to 1/2 cup and only 1 cup chocolate chips. 3 cups was way too much!
