HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

1¼ cups of flour

3 tbsp of cornstarch

½ tsp salt

½ tsp baking soda

1 cold stick of butter (½ cup)

6 tbsp of granulated sugar

6 tbsp brown sugar

1 egg

½ tsp of vanilla extract

1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

About 10-11 oz (or ½ a bag if you want less chocolate)

1/4 cup of walnut pieces (optional)

PREPARATION:

Preheat the oven to 230°c.

Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda

Cut sticks of butter into smaller pieces.

In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract

Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture.

Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts.

Mix gently until fully combined

Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet

Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep you eye on them.)

Remove from the oven and let them cool (they’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool)

For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled.
