Servings: 32 Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
Chocolate Chip Cookies:
- Add the unsalted butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until fully melted, then set aside to cool for about 15 minutes.
- To the cooled melted butter, add the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Add in all the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is just combined, leaving behind a few streaks of flour. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 2-tablespoon balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 375. Place 8 cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes then allow the cookies to remain on the hot baking sheet for an additional 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Semisweet or milk chocolate chips will work! Whatever your preference is.
