Baked & Brewed Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thick, soft and loaded with chocolate chips, these chunky chocolate chip cookies have crisp edges and a soft, gooey center. They’re the perfect bakery-style cookie and one of my favorite base recipes for creating different cookie flavors.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined.
3. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth.
4. Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until a dough forms. Don’t overmix.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Using about ¼ cup of dough per cookie, form the dough into thick cookie dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between each cookie.
7. Bake for about 10 minutes.

Bailey’s Tips

The centers may still look slightly underdone when you take them out, that’s what keeps them soft and gooey. Let them cool on the baking sheet before moving them.
