Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 174kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (186 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 5 ounces milk chocolate chunks, plus extra for the tops of the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.
- In a large bowl, add brown sugar. Pour butter over brown sugar and mix to combine.
- Add in egg and vanilla and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt to the brown sugar mixture. Mix by hand until combined. The batter will be coarse and appear dry.
- Coarsely chop the chocolate and add to the batter. Reserve a few pieces of chocolate to add to the top of the cookies.
- Using a cookie scoop that holds about 2 tablespoons of batter, scoop out the dough and place it onto the lined baking sheet.
- Place a few (3-5) extra chunks on chocolate on top of each cookie.
- Using a clean kitchen glass, press down each cookie until it is about ½ to ¾ inch thick. This step is optional, but if you don't press the cookies down they may need to bake longer as they do not flatten on their own.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. Move to a cooling rack.
