Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will continue to set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your soft, puffy cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
