Chocolate Chip Cookies

With a buttery dough base, crisp edges with a chewy center and just the right amount of gooey chocolate chips in every bite, these classic chocolate chip cookies are a timeless treat! Perfect for pairing with a glass of milk, these cookies are easy to make and impossible to resist.

Here are some tips to keep in mind while baking:

• Butter temperature. Let the butter sit outside of the fridge for about 20 minutes, so that it’s slightly softened, but not fully at room temperature. This holds the dough together better during baking and prevents the cookies from spreading too thin.
• Line the baking sheet. Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to line the baking sheet. This keeps the bottoms of the cookies from browning too quickly.
• Don’t overbake. The goal with any soft, chewy cookie is to leave the cookies slightly underbaked, but not wet in the center. They’ll continue to set up on the baking sheet as they cool.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 cup (220g) packed light brown sugar
• ½ cup (95g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) pure vanilla extract
• 3 ½ cups (420g) all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons (4g) cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
• 1 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
• 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• sea salt flakes optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Allow the butter to soften for at least 20 minutes.
• Beat the butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes until well creamed. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Stir to combine and slowly add the dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until the dough starts to form. Before the dough thickens, add the chocolate chips. Beat until incorporated. Set aside.
• Use a large cookie scoop and portion the dough. Bake for 11-14 minutes. The center of the cookie should be slightly underbaked but not too gooey or shiny on top. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
