Description

Soft, chewy, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips, these cookies are bakery-style perfection. Perfect for every cookie craving.


Ingredients

  • 2 â…“ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon corn starch

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt until evenly combined.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well blended.

  3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and fully incorporated.

  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick dough forms. Do not overmix.

  5. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 1 hour to enhance flavor and texture.

  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  8. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, rolling into balls, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers look slightly underbaked.

  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

 For extra chewy cookies, don’t skip the chilling step. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
