The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (probably Ever)

The best chocolate chip cookies (probably ever)

🍪 Its quite the claim to make, I know, but these cookies are so yummy and I’ve done them many times with great success. If you’re really feeling creative, last Halloween instead of using chocolate chips I used chopped up Halloween candy (smarties, MnMs, Reese’s, Aero, ect) and it was AWESOME! But can’t beat a classic, right?

🍪 Ingredients:

1 cup butter (melt it and let it cool for ~10 minutes)

1¼ cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

1 egg (room temperature)

1½ tsp vanilla extract

2¾ cup flour

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking soda

¾ tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chips (or more, if you want)

🍪 How to make it:

Combine butter, brown sugar and white sugar in a bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract.

In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.

Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet, and make sure all flour is mixed in.

Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (longer is fine)

Scoop cookie dough into balls, adding chocolate chips, and place onto lined baking sheet.

Space cookies about 2 inches apart on baking sheet.

Bake at 350⁰ for 11 minutes.

You will likely have to do multiple pans because of the required spacing, but ensure the cookies can cook for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

🍪 Notes:

When the 11 minutes is up, they look soft. Like REALLY soft. But believe me, that’s correct. Just don’t handle them before the 10 minutes is up, because they might melt on the cooling rack or in your hands. They stay soft for a few days, but only if they don’t get eaten first. Happy Baking!
