Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • mixing bowls
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 0.5 cup butter, softened Adds rich flavor and a tender texture.
  • 0.75 cup dark brown sugar Brings deep caramel flavor and contributes to gooeyness.
  • 0.25 cup white sugar Balances sweetness and helps achieve slight crispiness.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder and creates richness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor with warm, aromatic touch.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides necessary structure.
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch Key for chewy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps achieve nice rise and fluffy texture.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Cream together the softened butter, dark brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy—about 2 minutes.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well-blended—about 30 seconds.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips until evenly distributed.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Portion out heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake for about 6 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center remains soft.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking and store cookies in an airtight container to maintain gooeyness.
