Description

Ingredients

• 2⅔ c. all-purpose flour
• 1¼ tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1¼ tsp. salt
• 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. brown sugar, packed
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. chocolate chips (semi, bittersweet or both)
• Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats, set aside.
• Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30-45 seconds (full strength) or until its almost completely melted but has a few soft pieces left.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), beat together butter, sugars and vanilla for 1 minute. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between additions. Turn mixing speed to low and gradually add in the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined or until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Now you can either bake the dough straight away, chill for 3 hours and bake, store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze it.
• To bake the cookies, using a standard size cookie scoop (approximately 1.5 tbsp.) to form balls of dough. Place onto the prepared sheets, leaving at least 2 inches in between. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
• Place in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, rotating the sheet half way through the baking process. Remove from oven when cookies are golden brown in color around the edges. Let cookies cool on pan for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
