Best-Ever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know (well, I've heard) there are people out there who like crispy cookies.  I'm not one of them.  I like fluffy, soft, chewy cookies--the kind that puff up when they're baking and barely spread at all.  These cookies are just that.  Perfectly that, in fact.

Servings: Makes approximately 3 dozen

Servings: Makes approximately 3 dozen
Ingredients
  • ¾ c. unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ c. brown sugar
  • ¼ c. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 c. all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips
Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.
  3. Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  4. Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges.  (The tops will not brown, but do NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)
  5. Let cool, on the sheet, on a wire rack for five minutes.  Remove from baking sheet and let cool completely.
Notes
  • Shawna makes these, and Jon loves them. She used arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch.
