Ingredients
UnitsScale
Dry Ingredients:
2 1/4cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Wet Ingredients:
3/4cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2cup granulated sugar
3/4cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Additions:
2cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape and Bake: Scoop dough into heaping tablespoons and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Cool and Enjoy: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra softness, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
These cookies stay soft for days and also freeze well once baked.
