Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies - My simple favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe that I make over and over. Homemade, chewy, soft and delicious.
Ingredients
- 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. In a mixing bowl fitted with flat paddle cream butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for until well mixed. Stir in egg, egg yolk and vanilla.
- Add flour mixture and beat for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly combined. Mix in chocolate chunks.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, shape dough and drop onto baking sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- You may also chill dough at this point. Refrigerate dough for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- Place on non-stick baking sheet or parchment lined cookie sheet pan.
- 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.
- 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 2 hours prior to baking.
