If you are looking for that "perfect" chocolate chip cookie recipe then look no further. I have made these countless times and each time I have people begging me for the recipe. They're easy to make, no complications, no strange ingredients, and you can fill them with any chocolate you desire.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar (or light brown - dark is preferred)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup SNO-CAPS (or other kind of chocolate chip)

Preparation

Step 1

Line an ungreased cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.

In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Mix in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed. On low speed, mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Dough will be thick and sticky. Chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 days).

Preheat oven to 350F.

Drop balls of dough onto cookie sheet (about 1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie) OR used a standard-sized cookie scoop. Bake for 8-9 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges. Do NOT bake them longer than 10 minutes. Remove and let cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer to cooling rack.

*Do not drop dough onto warm cookie sheets. Allow cookie sheets to cool completely between batches.
