Description

Recreate the magic of a professional bakery at home with these exceptionally thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. By utilizing melted butter and a strategic chilling period, you can achieve a dense, fudgy texture and perfectly set edges every single time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and set aside until it reaches room temperature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled liquid butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking briskly until the mixture appears smooth and glossy.
  4. Whisk in the cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Stir in the flour using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing only until no more flour streaks are visible.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Divide the dough into 8 large portions, roughly 4 ounces each, and roll into balls.
  8. Place the dough balls in an airtight container and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. Bake 3 to 4 cookies at a time for 13–18 minutes, removing them when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your egg is at room temperature so it emulsifies properly with the cooled butter. If your cookies appear slightly irregular in shape after baking, use a circular glass to gently rotate around the edges while they are still hot to create a perfect circle. These cookies are best stored in an airtight container for up to three days to maintain their soft, tender crumb.
