Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  7. Portion dough into large balls (about 6 oz each or the size of a tennis ball) and place spaced apart on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Omit walnuts for a nut-free version.Use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter taste.Make smaller cookies and bake for 8–9 minutes if desired.Stuff the center with chocolate or Nutella for a molten variation.Freeze unbaked dough balls and bake directly from frozen.
