Calories 315kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter mostly but not fully melted
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch see Note
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Melt the butter a little bit in the microwave.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla to a medium bowl, and use a fork or whisk to stir until smooth.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and stir until well-combined.
- Stir in 5 tablespoons chocolate chips.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls.
- Bake until the cookies are light golden, about 12 to 14 minutes. They should still look a touch doughy in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking tray.
- Serve.
Notes
- Don't Over-Bake: Be careful not to over-bake the cookies because they’ll harden more as they cool. These cookies should look light golden on the outside, but should still look a touch doughy in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Cornstarch: The cornstarch is what makes these cookies soft and thick. You can omit the cornstarch for a more brittle cookie that’s crispy outside and chewy inside.
- Storage: For best flavor and texture, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Recipe Yield and Serving Size: This recipe makes 2 large chocolate chip cookies. For the nutritional information, each serving is half a cookie for a total of 4 servings for the entire recipe.
