Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Walnuts (optional, roughly chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is creamy but not overly whipped.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, 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 walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 12 large portions (approximately 4-4.5 ounces each). Form them into rough balls—avoid flattening them, as the cookies should remain thick.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You may need to bake them in batches to avoid crowding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center to ensure a gooey texture.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature!
