Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • hand mixer
  • baking sheet

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. With a mixer, beat the butter and both sugars for about 1 minute. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Add it to the butter mixture on low speed, stopping as soon as a dough forms.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon mounds and set them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are still soft. Let them sit on the pan for 5 minutes, then move them to a rack.
