Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/4 cups (225g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. The centers should look slightly underbaked.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
