Nestle Toll House are the OG of chocolate chip cookies. I grew up with them and every other chocolate chip cookie wishes it could be this one. There I said it.
I make these cookies a few times a year. Recently, I started baking only by weight. If you haven't tried this yet, get yourself a cheap kitchen scale and give it a go. Measuring out ingredients by weight in grams is the simplest way to get your baking right.

Nestle Toll House Cookies
Classic Nestle Toll House Cookies with a delicious blend of chocolate morsels and optional nuts.
Ingredients
- 280 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 226 g butter, softened
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 165 g packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 340 g NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 125 g chopped nuts (optional; if omitted, add 8 to 16 g of all-purpose flour)
Directions
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces. Let it sit at room temperature to soften. This typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. The ideal softness should be such that the butter can be easily pressed with a finger but still hold its shape.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is in the middle position for even baking.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate morsels and nuts (if using).
- Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I measure ingredients by weight instead of cups?
Measuring by weight ensures accuracy and consistency in baking. A cup of flour can vary significantly depending on how it’s packed, but 280 grams is always 280 grams—leading to better cookies every time!
2. How many grams of flour are in the Nestlé Toll House cookie recipe?
This recipe calls for 280 grams (about 2 1/4 cups) of all-purpose flour. Using a kitchen scale guarantees the right texture and chewiness in your cookies.
3. What is the best way to soften butter for this recipe?
The best way to soften butter is to cut it into small pieces and let it sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes. It should be soft enough to press with a finger but not melted.
4. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?
Yes, but reduce the added salt in the recipe to 1/2 teaspoon since salted butter already contains salt.
5. How do I adjust for high-altitude baking?
For high-altitude adjustments:
- Increase flour by 10–15g (about 1-2 extra tablespoons).
- Reduce sugar slightly to prevent excess spreading.
- Decrease baking soda slightly (about 1/4 teaspoon less).
- Increase oven temperature by 15°F (8°C) and bake for a shorter time.
6. Can I make these cookies without eggs?
Yes! For each egg, substitute with:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water (let sit for 5 min to gel)
7. How do I store these cookies?
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months in a sealed bag.
- Dough Freezing: Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until firm, then store in a bag for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
8. Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Yes! Try:
- Milk chocolate chips for a sweeter taste.
- Dark chocolate chips for a richer, more intense flavor.
- White chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Peanut butter or butterscotch chips for extra variety.
9. I have leftover chocolate chips, what should I do with them?
Great question. The obivous answer is bake them into a delicious chocolate chip poundcake.
