Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1.5 cups (300g) light brown sugar, packed firmly into the cup
  • 0.5 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2.25 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1.5 cups (250g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Note: Proper preheating ensures the cookies begin spreading immediately for the right texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar vigorously for 2 minutes until the mixture lightens in color and becomes aerated.
  3. Whisk in the whole egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract until the batter appears shiny and emulsified like caramel.
  4. Sift the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and fine sea salt directly into the wet ingredients. Note: Sifting prevents lumps of baking soda which can leave a metallic taste.
  5. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients until just a few streaks of flour remain.
  6. Fold in the semi sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the thick dough.
  7. Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion dough onto prepared sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between them.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes, tapping the pan against the oven rack mid bake to create those beautiful ripples.
  9. Remove from oven when edges are golden brown but centers still look slightly pale.
  10. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool on the pan for 10 minutes to set the chewy structure.
