Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just melted but not hot. Allow it to cool slightly.
Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the melted butter. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie (or use a large cookie scoop) and roll into balls. For extra-thick cookies, flatten slightly with your palm.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden, but the centers will still look soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your warm, gooey, big fat chewy chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a sweet treat anytime!
