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 about two minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, mixing until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Gently combine the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt until just incorporated.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Scoop around 1/4 cup of cookie dough for each cookie and roll into smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for one hour or in the freezer for thirty minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Arrange the chilled cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about three inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers appear slightly under baked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least five minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Feel free to add nuts or substitute with dark chocolate chips for a twist.
For a softer cookie, under-bake slightly.
