Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add 1 large egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Fold in 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can add a few extra chips on top of the dough balls for a bakery-style look.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look slightly underbaked for that soft batch texture.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Softened butter is key for proper creaming.’, ‘Measure flour accurately to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much.’, ‘Press extra chocolate chips on top of dough balls for a bakery-style look.’]
