Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams mini 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 large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to set but the tops remain pale. Do not overbake.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
