Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Chocolate chips (desired amount)
• Optional: M&M’s or other add-ins

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Creaming:
   • In a mixing bowl, cream together:
     • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
     • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
     • 1/4 cup white sugar
3. Adding Wet Ingredients:
   • Add to the creamed mixture:
     • 1 large egg
     • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
   • Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.
4. Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, sift together:
     • 2 cups all-purpose flour
     • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
     • 1 teaspoon baking soda
     • 1/2 teaspoon salt
   • Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
5. Chocolate Chips and Add-Ins:
   • Fold in chocolate chips (and any desired add-ins like M&M’s).
6. Baking:
   • Use your preferred size cookie scoop to form dough balls.
   • Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
   • Baking time varies (9-12 minutes) depending on your oven and cookie size.
   • For “half-baked” cookies, pull them at nine minutes – they will look raw but will firm up as they cool.
7. Cooling:
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet without moving them. This will create a beautiful crinkle on the top.
