Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake: Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place on the baking sheets. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
Cool and enjoy: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
You can substitute part of the chocolate chips with chunks or add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a bakery-style finish.
