Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with a hand or stand mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add 0.5 cups of powdered sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. The dough will be soft and slightly crumbly.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with your palm or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden. The tops will remain pale.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cookies with 0.25 cups of powdered sugar for extra sweetness and a classic meltaway finish.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
