Chocolate Chip Cookies


Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is the second time that I have made these cookies. They are now my FAVORITE chocolate chip cookies. They come out so thick and so soft all thanks to one  ingredient, cornstarch. I decided to make them tonight since it's Saturday. I decided to make something simple and something that everyone would enjoy. Hope you all enjoy them as much as we did.

I didn't have any unsalted butter, I just used salted sweet cream butter so I reduced the salt to a 1/4 ts rather than a 1/2 ts. They still came out delicious.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.

3. Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.

4. Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. (The tops will not brown, but do NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)

5. Let cool, on the sheet, on a wire rack for five minutes. Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely. Makes approximately 3 dozen.
