Description
Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies with a delicious blend of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 16 Tablespoons (2 sticks, 226 g) unsalted butter, (cool room temperature)
- 1 cup (213 g) packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (10 ounces) semi-sweet chopped chocolate
- Flaky sea salt (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat softened butter with sugars for 3-4 minutes on medium speed until creamy. Mix in eggs one at a time on medium speed until combined. Add vanilla and mix until just incorporated.
- Add dry ingredients. Add flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Add chocolate chips and mix on low speed to combine. Dough will be very thick.
- Shape dough. Scoop 1/3 cup portions. I use a large cookie scoop (#12). Chill cookie dough balls. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably 24 hours.
- Prepare oven and pan. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F (190°C). Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake cookies. Place 6 cookie dough balls on a baking sheet spaced a few inches apart. Bake 12-14 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers should look slightly underbaked. Remove from the oven. Take a large round cookie cutter or coffee mug and place over each cookie and rotate to make cookies circular. Top each cookie with a few additional chocolate chips. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Top with sea salt before enjoying.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential to achieve the perfect texture.
- Try adding nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
