Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 220 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just fully melted, then let it cool slightly to avoid overheating.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
