Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter (room temperature, salted or unsalted)
Sweeteners:
- 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar (packed; reduce to 1 cup for high altitude)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (organic cane sugar is ideal)
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (add an extra 1/4 teaspoon if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375°F and positioning the rack centrally. Cover three baking sheets with parchment paper to facilitate effortless cookie removal and optimal baking performance.
- Using a mixer, whip softened butter until airy and light. Incorporate brown and granulated sugars, beating intensely for 3-5 minutes until the mixture achieves a smooth, creamy consistency. Pause midway to scrape bowl sides ensuring uniform blending.
- Introduce eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract, ensuring complete integration by scraping bowl edges.
- Separately, combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and kosher salt through thorough whisking to guarantee even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually introduce dry mixture into wet ingredients using low mixer speed. Mix minimally to maintain cookie’s tender texture, avoiding overmixing.
- Delicately fold milk chocolate chips throughout dough, ensuring uniform chip placement using gentle hand mixing or mixer’s lowest setting.
- Utilize large cookie scoop to portion dough into heaping ⅓ cup segments. Strategically split each dough ball, reconstructing with jagged surface facing upward. Arrange cookies 2-3 inches apart on prepared sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookie edges develop subtle golden hue while maintaining soft center. Allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance the rich, buttery flavor profile.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent cookie texture.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar consistency and taste.
