Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 11.5 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chunks divided
- Maldon flake sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
- In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream the butter with the sugars for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs in one at a time making sure the first one is fully mixed in before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients and slowly stir them in until combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Reserve ½ cup of the chocolate chunks on the side. Add the remaining chocolate chunks and mix until just combined.
- Portion the cookie dough into 18 portions, about 2.5 ounces each.
- Roll the cookie dough between your hands to form a smooth ball. Place them onto the sheet trays 4 inches apart.
- Top each cookie with the reserved chocolate chunks, about 3 chunks per cookie, and gently press them into the tops.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes until the cookies are puffed up, they do not appear moist in the center and they start to very lightly brown along the edges.
- Immediately sprinkle them with some flaky sea salt if using. Let them cool completely on the sheet tray.
