Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/2 tbsp salted butter, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (76g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/3 cup (66g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare your cookie sheet by placing a silicone liner on top, then stack a second cookie sheet underneath to create a double-layered base. This setup helps in even baking and prevents burning.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a bowl, whisk together the room temperature salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until well incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Using a silicone spatula, add flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form. You may need to use your hand to ensure all the flour is evenly incorporated and a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until distributed evenly.
  6. Shape Dough: Gather the dough and roll it into either one large ball or divide it into two smaller equal portions, depending on your preference.
  7. Pinch and Dimple: Pinch and dimple the dough balls slightly before placing them onto the silicone-lined cookie sheet. This helps achieve an even bake and texture.
  8. Bake: Place the cookie(s) in the oven and bake at 400°F (204°C) until golden brown on top. Bake a single large cookie for 12-14 minutes, or two smaller cookies for about 8-10 minutes.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookie(s) from the oven and allow them to cool and set on the hot pan for 20-25 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

  • Room temperature butter is essential for proper creaming with sugars.
  • Using a double cookie sheet with a silicone liner helps prevent burning and promotes even baking.
  • You can customize the size: one large cookie offers a gooey center, while two smaller cookies bake faster and have more edge crispness.
  • Allowing the cookie to cool on the pan is important for the right texture and to avoid breaking.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
