Ingredients
Scale

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled just until opaque
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1 egg yolk room temperature
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for two minutes.
- Add vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, whisking until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips gently.
- Scoop out about 1/4 cup of cookie dough, roll into balls, and chill on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 1 hour or 30 minutes in the freezer.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Arrange cookie dough balls on a baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center looks slightly underbaked.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Make sure the butter is just melted and not hot to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
For extra chewiness, chill the dough before baking.
Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts for added crunch.
