Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter melted and cooled at least 10 minutes
1 ¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 large egg room temperature preferred
1 egg yolk room temperature preferred
1 ½ tsp vanilla
2 ¾ cups flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
¾ tsp salt
1 ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add melted butter and sugars. Stir until well combined.
Add in the egg and egg yolk, stir well. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together.
Gradually add flour mixture to the stand mixer. Mix well so that all the flour is absorbed. Stir in chocolate chips.
Place dough in refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. I reccomned scooping the dough before placing it in the fridge. It's harder to scoop the dough once it's chilled.
Preheat oven to 350 dergrees and prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper.
Scoop dough into 1 ½ tablespoon rounds or place the pre-scooped rounds onto prepared cookie sheets, placing at least 2" apart.
Bake at 350 degreea for 11 minutes. Cookies may still look slightly soft in the centers, that is OK, they will cook completely on the cookie sheets. Don't over-bake or your cookies will be too hard.
Allow to cool completely on cookie sheets. Makes 30 cookies
