This perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe uses simple ingredients like melted butter, brown sugar, and cornstarch to guarantee cookies that are golden on the outside and gooey on the inside. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or craving a comforting treat, these homemade chocolate chip cookies will always hit the spot.

Ingredients

1 cup melted unsalted butter, cooled

1 ¼ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg (room temperature preferred)

1 egg yolk (room temperature preferred)

1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

1 ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine melted butter and both sugars. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.

  • Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.

  • Stir in the chocolate chips.

  • Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

  • Bake for 11 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a different twist, try swapping the semisweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips.

  • Add in chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.

  • You can make mini cookies by reducing the dough scoop size and adjusting the baking time (about 8-9 minutes).
