Chocolate Chip Cookies

I found these, and made them, for my guys, as a treat.  They are delicious, and I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips.  I didn't make them as big as the original recipe.  

                                                                                                                                                   Ingredients: 
  • 1 1/4 cups of flour
  • 3 TBSP of cornstarch
  • 1/2 TSP salt
  • 1/2 TSP baking soda
  • 1 cold stick of butter (1/2 cup)
  • 6 TBSP of granulated sugar
  • 6 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 TSP of vanilla extract
  • 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. About 10-11 oz (or 1/2 a bag if you want less chocolate)
  • 1/4 cup of walnut pieces (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°
  2. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking
  3. In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda
  4. Cut stick of butter into smaller pieces (as seen in video)
  5. In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract
  6. Gently in the dry ingredients into the larger mixing bowl (as seen in the video)
  7. Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined
  8. Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet
  9. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep you eye on them:)
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool (they’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool)
  11. For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled

* Makes 18 cookies

TIP: To make EXTRA LARGE cookies, double the size of the cookie dough balls using 2 tablespoon scoops and increase the baking time to 9-10 minutes. Makes 9 cookies if made larger
