Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional), chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture, beating well until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until everything is incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the optional chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake for a chewier cookie.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
