Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, very soft or partially melted
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (~60 grams)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking your cookies.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the very soft or partially melted butter with the brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk. Stir until the ingredients are fully blended and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Form cookie dough balls: Roll the dough into two large balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface. You will have enough dough for two huge cookies plus a little extra for a small snack. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Baking time can vary depending on your oven and how gooey you like your cookie centers.
- Let cookies rest: After baking, allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes so they can set and firm up slightly. This resting period helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to handle for warm, delicious eating.
Notes
- Using cornstarch helps give the cookies a soft and tender texture.
- Partially melting the butter allows for a chewier cookie while maintaining a tender crumb.
- The egg yolk adds richness and moisture to the dough without making it cakey.
- Make sure not to overbake if you want a gooey center; keep an eye on the cookies near the end of baking time.
- You can add extra chocolate chips on top for enhanced chocolate flavor and a prettier appearance.
- These cookies are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
