Wet Ingredients
3/4 cups (170g) of very soft unsalted butter (not melted)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
3/4 cups (170g) packed organic brown sugar (can use light or dark)
1egg at room temperature
2 tsp real vanilla extract or the inside of one vanilla bean
1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips or Belgian chocolate cut into small chunks
Dry Ingredients
2 1/4 cups (288g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine kosher salt
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F
Step 2. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugars until the cookie batter is smooth with no lumps.
Step 3. Add in the egg and blend again until nice and smooth.
Step 4. Stir in the vanilla.
Set aside
Step 5. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 6. Pour the dry ingredients onto the wet ingredients and stir until combined. The cookie dough should be soft enough to shape into cookies.
Step 7. Fold in your chocolate until the chocolate is spread throughout the dough.
Step 8. Make small balls (around 3 tbsp) and press them onto an ungreased baking sheet. They will spread slightly so be sure to give enough room for spreading. Usually about 12 per baking sheet.
Step 9. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies should look slightly underbaked. Once they are out of the oven, let cookies sit for about 10 minutes to cool a bit.
Step 10. Enjoy!
Your cookies will stay nice and fresh for about 1 week if you have them stored in an airtight container.
