Chocolate Chip Cookies

by madeleine

What is the most popular chocolate chip cookie? These are it! They are the perfectly chewy, chocolatey, ooey-gooey, answer to those intense sweet tooth cravings.

Serves 18

Ingredients

• 1.25 cup flour
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp baking soda
• 0.5 cup cold butter ((1 stick of butter is usually 1/2 cup))
• 6 tbsp granulated sugar
• 6 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips. About 10-11 oz (or 1/2 a bag if you want less chocolate)
• 0.25 cup walnut pieces (optional)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees Celsius
2. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking
3. In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda
4. Cut the stick of butter into smaller pieces (as seen in the video)
5. In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract
6. Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture (as seen in the video)
7. Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined
8. Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet
9. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep your eye on them:)
10. Remove from the oven and let them cool. They’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool
11. For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled
