Just two chocolate chip cookies - lightly crisp around the edge, and dense and buttery through the middle. They are thick enough to sink your teeth into and just really, really good.

1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix butter, sugars, vanilla, and egg yolk until combined.
Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. When a soft dough has formed, stir in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into two balls and place on a baking sheet – there should be plenty for two large cookies plus a little bit of dough for a snack. (You’re welcome.) You can add more chocolate chips to the top of the cookies if you want.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on your oven temp and desired level of gooey cookie center.
Rest the cookies for a few minutes so they settle down and solidify a bit – I set a timer for 10-15 minutes and just let them rest right on the pan. At that point they should be able to transfer to a plate, or maybe even held in your hand, for warm, delicious eating on the couch. Yum, yum, yum.

Holly on 2024-03-27 (5 stars): It’s sucks not being able to tolerate AP flour. All of your sweet recipes always look so yummy. Is there a gluten free option?? 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bet on 2024-03-27 (5 stars): I made these tonight with a 1:1 GF flour and they were awesome! 💛💛 (I used Better Batter)
Vesper on 2025-02-19 (5 stars): I don't have cornstarch! Any subs? I really want to make these!!!
Elizabeth on 2024-03-27 (5 stars): These are so good! I made them vegan using Earth Balance sticks for the butter and the recommended flax egg for the egg. They are perfect and will be on repeat in my house for sure!
Camille on 2024-03-27 (5 stars): These were so quick, easy and delicious!
Melissa on 2024-03-28 (5 stars): I made these last night and they were the most perfect cookies I’ve ever baked. The cornstarch must be a secret ingredient? The texture was amazing, they held up so well when cooked, and they were just the right balance of crispy and gooey. I’m honestly blown away. I’d pay $6 for one at a little cafe bakery. Unfortunately I didn't share, ate both of them, and made myself sick. Would I do it again? Yes.

Colleen on 2024-03-28 (5 stars): So good! I love small batch baking recipes so I was eager to try this. My kitchen scale needs batteries so I couldn’t weigh my flour but I knew I wanted a thinner cookie so I did 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp and it was perfect! Thank you for this recipe!
Amanda on 2024-03-28 (5 stars): I cried, these were so good! I made them GF (King Arthur’s) and DF (Melt butter) and it was out of control delicious. I did find I had to use ~65-70g of GF flour with the DF butter (which I only slightly softened), but it was a solid 10/10, TYSM!!!!!!!
Anna on 2024-03-29 (5 stars): Wow! I made these last night and they are fantastic!! There were three of us at home so I doubled the recipe to make 4, and I did need to bake them a few more minutes (14 total I think) also probably because of my oven. I like chewy but not underbaked and that was perfect. Letting them cool the full 10-15 minutes is also key so they don't fall apart when you pick them up. I can't wait to make these again, and thanks so much for yet another great recipe!!
Sue on 2024-03-29 (5 stars): I made these last night for our Hulu & chill time, and they were fantastic! I just added a little Maldon sea salt on top as they were cooling. My significant other was both thrilled & impressed with this gooey chocolatey snack I just whipped together. I will absolutely make these again!
Emily on 2024-03-29 (5 stars): I am not a baker. Tried these for the first time and they came out incredible!
Jen on 2024-03-30 (5 stars): OMG so good! They are a little sweet as someone else mentioned but not enough to deter my daughter and I from devouring them. So good, perfect texture and quick. Would make again 100%.
Kristin on 2024-04-02 (5 stars): Forgot to submit a rating with my comment!
EJ on 2024-04-03 (5 stars): So good and easy! 9 year old thought there was too much salt so maybe I’ll use fine sea salt next time if I want to share with him!
