Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a cookie sheet by placing a silicone liner on it and then stacking a second cookie sheet underneath your first one, creating a double layer with the silicone liner on the top cookie sheet. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until completely incorporated.

  • Step 3

    Add in the egg yolk and vanilla, stirring well.

  • Step 4

    Using a silicone spatula, add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. You may need to finish the mixing with your hand to get all of the flour completely incorporated.

  • Step 5

    Mix in the chocolate chips.

  • Step 6

    Gather the dough and roll into either one giant ball or split the dough into two equal-sized, smaller cookies.

  • Step 7

    Pinch and dimple the dough before placing it on a silicone-lined cookie sheet.

  • Step 8

    Bake until the cookie is golden brown across the top. For one large cookie, it will be about 12-14 minutes; for the smaller cookies, it will be about 8-10 minutes.

  • Step 9

    Allow the cookie to set up and cool on the hot pan for 20-25 minutes before enjoying.
