Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just liquefied (about 30-40 seconds). Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk again until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, roll the dough into 1-1.5 tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake—they will continue to set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
