Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well until combined.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the dough into 6 equal large portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them well apart.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture. If the dough feels too soft after mixing, chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before baking to help maintain the thick, giant shape. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
