Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Brown sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 225 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 200 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the ideal cookie texture.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using). Ensure they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly using the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
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.
Once cooled, enjoy your crunchy chocolate chip cookies on their own or with a glass of milk!
