Description

Delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies that are chewy and rich in flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 1 cup Brown sugar (packed light or dark)
  • 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 2/3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter (it needs to be cooled to room temperature to prevent spreading), brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  2. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix these until just combined.
  3. Add both chocolate chips and mix.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes to prevent spreading.
  5. Use a large cookie scoop (3 Tablespoons). Scoop 6 cookie dough balls per cookie sheet. Top the cookie doughs with extra chocolate chips. I did 6 chocolate chips and one dark chocolate chip.
  6. Bake one cookie sheet at a time. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the middle is slightly underdone.
  7. Let the cookies sit on the hot pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, remove them from the oven when they look slightly underdone.
  • Make sure your butter is cooled to room temperature to prevent cookies from spreading excessively.
