Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter softened
3/4 c light brown sugar
1/4 c granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on low speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 2. Add the sugars and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and well combined, about 3 minutes.
  • 3. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • 4. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the flour, corn starch, baking soda, salt, and mix until just combined.
  • 5. Add the chocolate chips, and beat for a few seconds on low speed.
  • 6. Using your hands, divide the dough into 8 equal sized balls.
  • 7. Place cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • 8. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
  • 9. Place four balls of cookie dough on the baking sheet.
  • 10. Bake for approximately 12 minutes,or until lightly golden brown around the edges, even if slightly undercooked in the center. Times will vary depending if you are using a regular oven or a convection oven. My oven runs a little hot, so just check on them after 12 minutes.
  • 11. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy with a big glass of ice cold milk!
