Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks
  • I split the recipe in half for 2 different uses

Instructions

  • Mix the flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together until fully incorporated.
  • Whisk in the egg and then the egg yolk into the butter mixture.
  • Finish the wet ingredients by whisking in the vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, yet thick.
  • Next, fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours - longer is better - overnight is great . Chilling is the key to making this recipe work.
  • Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325F degrees. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the dough and roll into a ball. (You want the dough to be taller than wide).
  • Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Serve and enjoy!
