Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The round cookie
Draw a big round circle for the cookie, starting at the lower right and going all the way around. Stop just before you get back to the start, so there is a small gap near the bottom right.
Step 3: The top chip
Near the top inside the cookie, draw a small circle for your first chocolate chip. Keep it a little way in from the edge.
Step 4: Upper side chips
Draw two more small circles in the upper part of the cookie, one on the left and one on the right of the top chip. Make them about the same size.
Step 5: Middle side chips
Draw a small circle in the middle of the left side and another in the middle of the right side. Keep them a little way in from the edge.
Step 6: Bottom chips
Draw two small circles near the bottom of the cookie, one lower left and one lower middle, with room between them.
Step 7: The last chip
Draw one more small circle near the lower right, just above the gap in the cookie's edge. Now your cookie is ready for coloring.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a chocolate chip cookie
- Draw the big circle lightly first, then go over it. Stop before the circle closes so the cookie has a small gap near the bottom right.
- Make the chips with small circles that are all about the same size, but let a few be slightly wobbly. Real chips are never perfect.
- Place the chips in a ring like the numbers on a clock face, leaving the middle empty. Space them out so none of them touch the edge or each other.
