Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Optional add-ins: ½ cup mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried cranberries if desired.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft and slightly underbaked.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. If dough is too sticky, chill for 15 minutes before scooping. Pull cookies out when edges are set but centers are still soft for chewiness. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours or frozen before baking.
