How To Make Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. Prepare The Dough
In a bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking soda
- Cornstarch
- Salt
In another large bowl, mix:
- Melted butter
- Brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
Add eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
2. Chill The Dough
Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
This helps create thicker cookies with rich flavor and soft centers.
3. Shape The Cookies
Scoop large portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking dish or baking sheet.
Keep enough space between each cookie because they will spread while baking.
Add extra chocolate chips on top for the bakery-style look.
4. Bake Until Golden
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes.
The edges should look golden while the centers remain slightly soft.
Do not overbake for the perfect gooey texture.
5. Cool & Serve
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm with melted chocolate in every bite.
