These are the BEST Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies - they're so tender and gooey on the inside. Plus, there's no refrigerating or waiting. Just mix up the dough and bake!
WHAT YOU NEED all purpose flour baking soda cornstarch salt brown sugar granulated sugar unsalted butter egg vanilla extract chocolate chips flaky sea salt
1. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl and set aside. 2. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer or whisk, mix together the melted butter and sugars. Mix until it comes together like a thin paste. Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
3. Add in the dry ingredients one half at a time. If making by hand, switch to a rubber spatula to fold together. Just before the dough completely comes together, toss in the chocolate chips and fold/mix to fully combine. Careful not to over mix.
4. Use a large 2oz cookie scoop and place 5-6 scoops on your cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Start at 10 and go up from there. They will look pretty pale because of the low temperature but just keep an eye on the edges. They’ll turn a very very light golden brown. If you’re unsure, just take them out. It’s better to be under than over baked!
5. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and sprinkle with some sea salt while they’re still warm. Cool for about 10 minutes and dig in while they’re still warm and gooey. Enjoy!
