Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
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 on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) with a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop out portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets approximately 3-4 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked. This ensures a chewy texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your jumbo chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
