Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until the dough comes together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to set but the tops remain pale. Do not overbake.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
