How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious cookies.

Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Whisk dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Cream the butter and sugars

Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed with a paddle attachment for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Add egg and vanilla

Add the egg and vanilla to the mixture and beat on medium speed for 1 minute until fully incorporated.

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until JUST combined. Stir in the chocolate chips gently.

Portion the dough

Using a ½ cup measuring cup, portion the dough into equal size balls, weighing 5-5.5 oz each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space in between (about 2 per tray).

Bake the cookies

Bake for 9-12 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and set. Remove the baking sheet from the oven; use a large round biscuit cutter in a circular motion around each cookie to tuck in the edges if needed. Allow the cookies to sit on the tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Yes, you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
