Ingredients
2/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-in. cubes (10 2/3 Tbsp.)
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt (preferably Diamond Crystal)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup milk chocolate chips, plus more for topping (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
Stir together butter and sugars in a large bowl. Use your fingertips to pinch and press butter cubes into sugar mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla; beat on medium-low speed just until combined, 15 to 30 seconds.
Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, kosher salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (such as Reynolds Kitchens Unbleached Parchment Paper). Shape dough into 10 balls (about 1/3 cup or 4 ounces each). Place balls 3 inches apart on baking sheets.
Bake until edges are lightly golden and set, tops are cracked, and centers seem slightly underdone, 14 to 16 minutes.
Press a few milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate chips into tops of warm cookies, if desired. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 1 hour.
Description
Two kinds of chocolate chips make these the ultimate chocolate chip cookies. These are thick and delicious.
Servings
Ten very big cookies
Notes
I made these for a cooked in cookout. We snitched a corner and I made a second batch as we knew ten, big as they are, wouldn't be enough. The notes say that you can make them smaller, but be sure to check the cooking time. I didn't add the extra chips as there were already so many that I couldn't find space. I did use the salt.
