  • 2.75 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips high-quality

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter with 1 cup of white granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, then mix in 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 room-temperature large eggs, blending until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup of mini chocolate chips.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Once the dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop to portion out mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown and the centers remain soft. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
