Ingredients
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. In a stand mixer, cream together the cold, cubed butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chunks and chips using a spatula.
6. Scoop ¼ cup-sized mounds of dough onto a baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Bake cookies for 11–13 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are slightly underdone.
9. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Don’t skip chilling the dough—it helps the cookies hold their shape.
Use high-quality chocolate bars for the best gooey pools.
Let cookies cool fully on the tray if you want thicker centers.
