Marci's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I'm sharing with you my famous cookie recipe! I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as my friends and family.

Ingredients
  • 2 sticks salted butter, room temp
  • 3/4 c granulated sugar
  • 3/4 c light brown sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 1/4 c flour
  • 2 c semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in :30 second increments.
  2. Next, add in the granulated and light brown sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and combined. The butter will soak into the sugar and should be light and fluffy.
  3. Next, add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  4. Add in the cornstarch, baking soda and pinch of salt. Stir until combined. Scrape down the side of the bowl and add in the flour. With your hand mixer on low speed, incorporate the flour until just combined.
  5. Add in the chocolate chips and stir.
  6. To a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, place the dough about 1"-1 1/2" apart. Bake at 325° for 8-10 minutes until the center has just set.
  7. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. The cookie is a super soft cookie and will either break apart of deform in shape if you move too soon.
