There are many deeply satisfying desserts, but one of the most popular treats among kids and adults alike is a chocolate chip cookie. There's nothing like taking a bite of a crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside cookie as warm chocolate oozes out and butter leaves a faint residue on your fingers. Chocolate chip cookies are a simple delight, so we're celebrating them here with a collection of our most delectable recipes.

Start with a classic: Our recipe for Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies is timeless. The all-butter batter and combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar create a rich dough with an even texture. If you like your treats with a bit more chocolate, you can't go wrong with Martha's Chocolate Chip Cookies, pictured here. The batter contains a whopping four-and-a-half cups of chocolate chips, which means you get that luscious flavor in every single bite. If you're gluten-free, bake a batch of our Five-Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies, which use almond butter to bind the dough together. Best of all, they come together in just 30 minutes, so who could resist whipping up a batch any day of the week?

Of course, classic chocolate chip cookie dough can be the base for so many other delicious add-ins. Anyone with a serious sweet tooth will love our Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. Each cookie is stuffed with a store-bought caramel, which results in an ooey-gooey surprise on the inside.

If you're looking for an impressive way to serve chocolate chip cookies (that's actually easy!), bake a whole batch of dough in a cast-iron skillet. Our Chocolate-Chip Oat-Coconut Skillet Cookie is filled with rolled oats, sweetened coconut flakes, and chocolate chips for a textural sweet slice. Fancy a little bit of heat? Then our Spicy Chocolate Cookie is right up your alley. It's a double chocolate chip cookie inspired by Mexican hot chocolate—cinnamon and cayenne pepper are the key ingredients for creating bold flavor.

Whether you choose to chill your dough or not, use chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, everyone will agree that these chocolate chip cookie recipes are completely fabulous.

We like to think of this is as the ultimate chocolate chip skillet cookie. That's because it contains instant oats and sweetened shredded coconut, which add to the texture. Make it even more decadent by serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

For a healthier take on a traditional chocolate chip cookie, try using farro flour, which adds even more dark, nutty flavors to the cookie dough. Another surprising inclusion is the dried fruit. The result is more texture and a fun complement to the sweet chocolate.
