Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, combine melted butter that has slightly cooled with brown and white sugars. Vigorously whisk for approximately two minutes until the mixture becomes light and thoroughly integrated.
- Introduce vanilla extract, whole egg, and additional egg yolk into the butter-sugar blend. Whisk energetically until the mixture transforms into a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Carefully fold in flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt. Gently incorporate dry ingredients with wet components, maintaining a delicate touch and allowing minimal flour streaks to remain visible.
- Fold semi-sweet chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for consistent chocolate presence in each cookie morsel.
- Create uniform dough portions using a 1/4 cup measure. Gently roll into smooth spheres and place on parchment-lined surface. Refrigerate for one hour or freeze for 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and prevent excessive spreading.
- Preheat oven to 325F, selecting a lower temperature to promote even baking and maintain optimal chewiness.
- Position chilled dough balls on prepared baking sheet, maintaining approximately 3 inches between each cookie to allow proper expansion during baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring for golden-tinged edges and slightly underdone center. This technique ensures a delectable chewy texture as cookies cool.
- Let cookies rest on baking sheet for five minutes, facilitating initial setting before transferring to wire rack for complete cooling.
- Store completely cooled cookies in sealed container, preserving freshness for up to five days and maintaining their delightful texture.
Notes
- Chill the dough thoroughly to prevent excessive spreading and create a more concentrated, rich flavor profile during baking.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially eggs, to ensure even mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- For gluten-free adaptation, substitute all-purpose flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum for better structure.
