Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, mix the cold butter cubes, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well mixed. Stir in the vanilla essence.
4️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5️⃣ Make the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
6️⃣ Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, spreading them evenly.
7️⃣ Shape the Cookies: Use a 1/4 cup measure or ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.
8️⃣ Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and firm, but the centers stay soft and gooey.
9️⃣ Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
