Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- Add softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until sandy and crumbly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until the dough is smooth and glossy. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently until evenly combined.
- Drop dough balls using a tablespoon or cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough for 10-15 minutes can prevent excessive spreading. Avoid overmixing after adding the egg to keep cookies tender. If cookies brown too fast, lower oven temperature by 10 degrees. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend and add xanthan gum if needed. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and egg with a flax egg.
