Description
Indulge in the rich and delightful taste of classic chocolate chip cookies, perfectly chewy with a hint of crispiness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and ¼ cups (270g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
- melted
- 1 cup (200g) firmly packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
- room temperature
- 1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and ½ cups (255g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Measure flour accurately: Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level it off to prevent dry cookies.
- Cool the butter: Let melted butter cool slightly before adding the eggs to avoid cooking them.
- Chill for better texture: Chilling helps control spreading and produces thicker, chewier cookies.
- Don’t overbake: Remove the cookies while the centers still look slightly underdone; they will continue setting as they cool.
- Customize the chocolate: Substitute some chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, or milk chocolate.
- Optional add-ins: Add chopped walnuts or pecans, or finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
- Storage: Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Freezing: Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. You can also freeze portioned cookie dough and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes as needed.
