Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and line two or three baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In the bowl of a standing mixer (you can also use a hand mixer) cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix for about two minutes, until the mixture is lighter in color and fluffy.

  3. Add the baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until combined. Add the flour and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined.

  4. I use a medium ice cream scoop and fill it just past the rim with cookie dough (about 3-4 tablespoons). Place eight cookie dough balls on the sheet, staggered so they won’t touch when baked. Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on your oven. Keep an eye on them so they do not burn. My oven runs a little hot so I bake them for 8-9 minutes. Let them cool on the pan for five minutes and then transfer to a cooking rack. Enjoy!
