Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 120 grams light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 195 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 180 grams chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and watch the kids devour these chewy, chocolatey treats. Enjoy!
