Resting Time15 minutes
Total Time2 hours 53 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups (325 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 2 egg yolks at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until combined.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add each egg one at a time, beating on high speed until fully combined before adding the next egg. Add vanilla, beat until combined.
  • Switching the mixer to low, add the flour mixture in two portions. Fully combine each time. Do not over mix.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Portion dough into 1/2 cup sized balls. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake 6 cookies at a time. Flatten the balls slightly. Bake for 18 minutes or until just golden brown. They will be slightly underdone inside, but not too gooey. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet.
