Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (175g) chunky dark chocolate pieces (roughly chopped chocolate bars)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup light brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently with a spatula. Stop as soon as no flour streaks remain.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate chunks.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden but centers still look soft and slightly underbaked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened (not melted) butter for best texture. Chilling the dough is essential to prevent excessive spreading and deepen flavors. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep cookies chewy. For extra gooey chocolate, place a few chocolate chunks on top of each dough ball before baking. Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dense cookies.
