Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups (267g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips, like Ghirdelli or Guittard
- 3.5–4 oz high quality milk or dark chocolate bar, like Ghirdelli, Guittard or Lindt (chopped or broken into small pieces)
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract for 30 seconds until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula for even mixing; the dough will be thick.
- Portion the dough into 5.5 to 5.7 oz balls, rolling each one between your hands and shaping slightly taller than wide.
- Chop the chocolate bar into small pieces and press onto the outside of each dough ball, along with extra chocolate chips.
- Place 2 cookies at a time on the baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, pulling them out at 15 minutes with slightly underdone centers that will set as they cool.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
Notes
For a variation, mix in nuts or dried fruits for extra flavor.
Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can enhance flavor and texture.
