Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups (330g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1 1/4 cups (267g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (255g) high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips, like Ghirdelli or Guittard
- 3.5-4 oz high quality milk or dark chocolate bar, like Ghirdelli, Guittard or Lindt (chopped or broken into small pieces)
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, beating for an additional 30 seconds until fully combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring a thick dough.
- Portion the dough using a kitchen scale into balls weighing 5.5 to 5.7 oz each, rolling them between your hands and shaping slightly taller than wide.
- Chop the chocolate bar and press pieces as well as extra chocolate chips onto each dough ball.
- Place 2 cookies on the baking sheet at a time and bake for 15–18 minutes, removing when centers are slightly underdone after 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
Notes
For the best results, use high-quality chocolate brands for rich flavor.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy blending and better texture.
Chilling the dough before baking can enhance the flavors more.
