You know those recipes that instantly feel like a hug? The ones that pull you in with warm smells, melty chocolate pools, and the promise of comfort? This is that recipe. Chocolate Chip Cookie Bread is what happens when a soft, fluffy loaf and a gooey chocolate chip cookie decide to team up and create the ultimate feel-good bake. It looks like a loaf of bread… but tastes like a bakery-style cookie. Every slice is loaded with chocolate chips, buttery cookie richness, and that sweet, dreamy crumb that makes you go, “Why have I not been eating this my entire life?”
Think of it as dessert bread meets cookie dough bliss. It’s part sweet loaf, part cookie magic, and fully irresistible. The best part? You don’t need any yeast, no dough-proofing marathon, and no complicated steps. Just mix, bake, slice, eat, repeat. Honestly, it’s dangerous.
And if you’ve never made cookie bread before, buckle up. This recipe might just become your signature bake.
Choc Chip Bread Recipe Introduction: What Makes This Loaf So Special?
This Choc Chip Bread Recipe is shockingly simple, but the payoff? Next level. Instead of shaping individual cookies (who has time for endless scooping and tray swapping?), you pour it into a loaf pan and bake it in one glorious piece. Slice it like banana bread, but enjoy it like a cookie.
Let’s break down what makes this bake so addictive:
- It has a soft, tender crumb like a quick bread.
- It’s studded with lots and lots of chocolate chips.
- It tastes like someone turned cookie dough into breakfast.
- It stays moist for days (though realistically, it won’t last that long).
Every slice is chewy at the edges, soft in the middle, and loaded with chocolate. If cookies and bread got married and bought a house in the suburbs, this loaf is their adorable offspring.
Why This Bread With Chocolate Chips Is Irresistible
Imagine pulling a warm loaf from the oven, chocolate chips still glossy and melty, the top lightly golden with that signature cookie look. This Bread With Chocolate Chips is incredibly comforting, yet feels special enough to serve to guests. It works for breakfast, as an afternoon pick-me-up, or for that nightly “I just want something sweet without going overboard” moment.
And because it’s baked into a loaf, every cut gives you a thick slice full of chocolate chip pockets — no skimping. You get max cookie per bite.
Still not convinced? Consider this:
- It’s a one-bowl batter.
- No mixer required.
- No chilling the dough.
- No waiting.
Just mix, bake, devour.
The Story Behind This Cookie Loaf
The first time I heard of a Cookie Loaf, I raised an eyebrow. Bread flavored like a cookie? Was this even legal? The idea lived in my head rent-free until I finally baked my own version.
And wow. Just… wow.
That first slice felt like discovering a secret dessert universe. It tasted like everything I love about chocolate chip cookies — buttery, sweet, with melty chocolate — but thicker, fluffier, and sliceable. No more choosing between a cookie and a slice of bread. You can have both. On the same plate. At the same time.
The recipe became a staple at family gatherings, brunches, and honestly, emotional breakdown evenings. We all need a reliable loaf in our life.

- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Description
Who says cookies have to be round? This loaf transforms classic chocolate chip cookie dough into a soft, sliceable dessert bread that’s perfect with coffee, ice cream, or straight off the cooling rack. It delivers that buttery cookie flavor you love, but in a cozy, tender loaf form — and yes, you can absolutely make it gluten-free.
Ingredients
Loaf Batter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (one stick)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour*
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (plus a little extra for sprinkling on top)
Simple Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- (add a splash more if you prefer a thinner drizzle)
Instructions
- Prep the oven and pan.
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan with parchment and lightly grease it so nothing sticks.
- Mix the wet ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture looks smooth and glossy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Pour in the milk and stir again until everything is fully blended.
- Combine the dry ingredients.
- In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Bring the batter together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently — just until the flour disappears. (Over-mixing will make the loaf dense.)
- Add the chocolate.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Save a few to scatter over the top.
- Bake.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Add remaining chocolate chips for that picture-perfect look.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few soft crumbs.
- Cool.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges, lift out using the parchment, and finish cooling on a wire rack. (Don’t rush this step — it helps the loaf set and slice without breaking.)
- Glaze it.
- In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Once the loaf is completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze over the top. Finish with extra chocolate chips if you want maximum cookie vibes.
