Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups + 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (3/4 cup, melted and cooled)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (plus more for topping)
  • Sea salt for finishing (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy and lighter in color, about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and yolk, beating until well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Scoop ½ cupfulls of dough onto baking sheets lined with silicone mats or parchment paper. Cover with saran wrap and chill for at least two hours. Alternatively, you can chill the dough before scooping. I just find it’s easier to scoop dough before it’s chilled.
  • Bake at 350 degrees (4 cookies per pan) for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are starting to brown on the edges, but still light in color and just barely gooey in the center. Press extra chocolate chips or chunks into the tops of the cookies, if desired. Sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to set up on the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies stay soft and chewy in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • The scooped dough can be frozen and baked from frozen. See the post above for complete freezing instructions.
  • We love to use a mix of semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks, but you can use all of one or the other.
  • This recipe is easy to double! I usually double it and make four giant cookies, then use a regular cookie scoop for the rest. Normal sized cookies should be baked for 8-9 minutes.
