Chocolate Chip Cookies

Most people have their favorite go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies, and this is mine. These are chewy and soft and delicious. Sadly, these AREN'T the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, but any time I get a recipe from someone else because I'm dying over their delicious chocolate chip cookies, it never seems to turn out as well as when they made them. I don't really understand that.... am I THAT bad at following a recipe!? Ugh! Anyway, here's the recipe:


Ingredients: 
3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened 
3/4 c. brown sugar 
1/4 c. granulated sugar 
1 egg 
2 tsp. vanilla extract 
2 c. all purpose flour 
2 tsp. cornstarch 
1 tsp. baking soda 
1/2 tsp. salt 
1 c. 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.  Try not to eat them all.


This recipe is straightforward and they always turn out well, which I love. I also love that it's not super complicated and doesn't require refrigeration. Definitely a keeper!
