In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures the cookies remain soft and squishy when baked.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the centers still look soft. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate squishy chocolate chip cookie experience!
