Description
Delicious and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups (267g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips, like Ghirdelli or Guittard
- 3 oz high quality milk or dark chocolate bar, like Ghirdelli, Guittard or Lindt (chopped or broken into small pieces)
- to taste flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat for 30 seconds, until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated. Finish mixing with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly combined. The dough will be thick.
- Using a kitchen scale, portion the dough into 5 oz balls. Roll each ball between your hands, then shape it so it’s slightly taller than it is wide.
- Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces, then press the pieces and a few extra chocolate chips onto the outside of each dough ball.
- Place 2 cookies at a time on the baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes. The centers will look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
