Instructions
- Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave until barely melted. (Alternatively, melt in a small saucepan.) Cool slightly. Using a hand mixer, beat the sugars, butter, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in the eggs one by one until just incorporated; don't overbeat!
- In another large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and cornstarch (if using). Toss in the chocolate chips. Fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon; take care not to over-mix. Cover it tightly, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If chilling for 3+ hours, make sure you let the cookie dough sit at room temperature for at least 1o to 15 minutes before rolling into balls; the cookie dough will be very stiff after being in the fridge that long.
- Form and bake the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. If you only have 1 baking sheet, let it cool completely between batches.
- Scoop two heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared pans. Roll each mound in your hands to form a ball.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 to 3 inches apart. Bake until golden brown around the edges but still light in the center, about 1o minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat forming the remaining dough into balls. Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 days.
