It all depends how soft or crispy you like your chocolate chip cookies. I like mine crispy around the edges and chewy in the middle, so I find that 14 minutes at 350°F is perfect. They're done when the edges are a light golden brown.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you'd like your cookies softer and less crispy, shorten the baking time by a couple of minutes. Make sure the edges of the cookies are set (firm to the touch and not gooey) before removing them from the oven. Let them continue cooling on the metal cookie sheet for 8 minutes while sitting on the counter before transferring to a metal rack.
