- Whisk in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth
- Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla. Whisk until glossy and well combined
- Evenly spread flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt over top of wet ingredients
- Mix until just combined and no dry flour remains
- Fold in chocolate chips/chunks. Scoop into 3 tbsp or 2 oz balls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375℉ and line baking sheets with parchment
- Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers still look slightly underbaked

Tips for Best Cookies

- Reserve a few chocolate chips to press onto the tops before baking for that bakery look
- Slightly underbake
- Let them cool on the pan to help them set up without becoming dry
- Chilling the dough develops deeper flavor and helps create thicker cookies
