These soft batch chocolate chip cookies are the perfect balance of gooeyness and chewiness, with warm and melty chocolate chips. A nostalgic treat that feels like a warm hug.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Use a spatula to gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Keep your butter soft but not melted for proper creaming.’, ‘Measure ingredients accurately to avoid dense cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance flavor.’, ‘Bake until edges are set but centers are still soft for gooey cookies.’, ‘Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even results.’]
