Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will continue to set as the cookies cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your soft, puffy cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
