Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy and light, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer or whisk by hand.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until combined and dough looks smooth and shiny.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set but centers still look soft. Rotate sheets halfway if oven runs hot.
  8. Let cookies sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can enhance flavor and prevent spreading but is optional. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking if your oven runs hot. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Let cookies cool on baking sheet before transferring to maintain chewiness.
