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 melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for two minutes.
- Add vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, whisking until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out roughly 1/4 cup of cookie dough, roll into balls, and chill on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 1 hour (or 30 minutes in the freezer).
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Place dough balls about 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a silicone mat.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly underbaked.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps to prevent cookies from spreading during baking.
Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture in your cookies.
These cookies can be kept fresh for up to 5 days when stored correctly.
