Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (340g) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  6. Fold in milk chocolate chips gently.
  7. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons or 30g each) onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for controlling spread and enhancing flavor. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Pull cookies from oven when edges are golden but centers are still soft to maintain softness. Use quality milk chocolate chips like Ghirardelli for best results. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and add xanthan gum if needed. Vegan adaptations include using vegan butter, flax eggs, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
