Ingredients
Scale
-
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
-
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs + 1 extra egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
Mix-ins:
- 2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips (or a mix)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined. Add eggs and extra yolk, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients – Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips evenly.
- Chill the Dough – Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 48 hours). This step helps achieve a thick texture.
- Preheat & Shape – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop ¼ cup-sized dough balls and space them apart.
- Bake – Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden, but centers look slightly underbaked. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy – Serve warm with milk or coffee for the ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Brown the butter for a richer flavor.
- Use a mix of chocolate chips (milk, dark, and white) for variety.
- Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Slightly underbake for softer cookies.
- Freeze pre-scooped dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
