Cook Time 12 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Whisk or sift, the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside
  • In a separate bowl, cream the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together till nice and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Once combined, add the dry ingredients. Mix till almost no more flour remains, then fold in chocolate chips.
  • Cover and refrigerate the dough for 3 hours or overnight. I've shaped the dough and frozen it at this point to bake at a later date. The texture will be a bit different, but still delicious.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 Fahrenheit, and line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone sheet.
  • Let the dough stand at room temperature for 10 min before shaping into balls. make smaller ones with about 1 12 Tbsp of dough if you like bite-size ones. Or 3 Tbsp for larger cookies. Just remember your baking time will then differ, so keep a close eye on them.
  • Bake cookies for about 12 min, checking after 10 min underneath. You're looking for a golden brown color. Allow to cool a few min.
