There’s nothing quite like a thick, chewy chocolate chip cookie, perfectly golden on the outside with a soft and gooey center. These cookies are designed to satisfy all your cravings with an irresistible combination of buttery dough and generous chunks of chocolate. The secret to their chewiness lies in the use of brown sugar and a bit of cornstarch, which helps give the cookies their signature texture. Whether you’re enjoying them with a cold glass of milk or straight from the oven, these cookies are bound to be a favorite!
Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Scoop the dough into large balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies while they’re still warm for the ultimate experience!
