Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ⅓ 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 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, whisking until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Incorporate the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough, rolling into smooth balls, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Arrange cookie dough balls about 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Chilling the cookie dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
