What sets this recipe apart
There are one million chocolate chip cookie recipes out there. Here’s what makes this one better than others:
Cold butter: This cookie recipe does not use softened butter. Use butter straight from the fridge. This ensures that the cookies bake up with the perfect thickness every time. None of the inconsistencies that come with over softened butter (like cookies that spread too thin).
More brown sugar than white sugar: This recipes uses mostly brown sugar which adds color, chewy texture, and an underlying caramel flavor.
Cornstarch: Adding cornstarch to the dough helps to create a cookie that has a nice soft texture.
Large dough balls: When portioning the dough make large dough balls. This ensures that the cookies have a nice thickness with crisp edges and soft centers.
Chocolate: Try one or more of the following for getting the perfect chocolate-cookie ratio.
- Use chocolate chunks instead of chips. This creates large pockets of chocolate all throughout each cookie. Our favorite are semisweet chunks from Trader Joes.
- Coarsely chop a few tablespoons of chips/chunks so that little shards of chocolate disperse all throughout the dough.
- Use a combination of different chocolates. Mix dark, semisweet, and/or milk chocolate chips/chunks.
