Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies – My simple favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe that I make on repeat. Homemade, chewy, soft and delicious.
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl combine flour, cornstarch, and baking soda. Whisk gently. Set aside.
- Melt butter slightly in the microwave. It should be runny but not completely liquefied. For my microwave that is about 30-40 seconds. Use discretion if you have a microwave that is low or high in power.
In a mixing bowl fitted with a flat paddle, cream the butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Stir in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. - Next, add the flour mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly combined. Mix in chocolate chips.
- You may also chill dough at this point. Refrigerate dough for anywhere for 1 hour up to 2 days.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to drop the dough onto baking sheets lined with a baking mat (I use this baking mat.) or parchment paper.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are set and very lightly brown. Centers will be glossy and look slightly under-baked. Let them cool on pan for about 5 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool completely.
- These cookies will keep fresh for up to 1 week in covered container.
Notes
This dough tastes great baked immediately or tastes even better chilled for at least 1 hours before baking.
