Ingredients
Scale
- 2 â…“ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled just until opaque
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for two minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, whisking until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt, mixing just until everything is incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each cookie, rolling them into smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator or 30 minutes in the freezer.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Arrange cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat, leaving about 3 inches between each.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden, and the center appears slightly underbaked.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
For chewier cookies, avoid overbaking them—remove them while they still look slightly underbaked.
Chilling the dough helps to enhance the flavor and texture of the cookies.
Feel free to mix in nuts or other chocolate varieties for added flavor.
