Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

 

Here’s what you need:


2 sticks salted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar (or make your own- listen for instructions)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons water
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

6 ounces of chocolate- cut up bars or chips (but bars are better)

 

Here’s what you do:

  • Melt the butter over a low heat- do not brown (unless you feel like it- it’s your cookie)
  • While that's going, blend sugars together in a large bowl
  • Pour the butter over the sugars and blend until lighter in color
  • Add egg, vanilla- mix another minute or 2
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt,and cornstarch over the mixture- mix in gingerly using a large spoon or spatula
  • When most of the flour is incorporated, add the chocolate and mix it bae
  • Portion cookies out, a little bigger than usual, and let them sit in the fridge for 10 minutes
  • Space the cookies out, so you don't end up with a giant cookie…although…
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 6 mins
  • Take the pan out and bang it on a flat surface
  • Add a generous sprinkle of fancy salt (or kosher if that’s what you got)
  • Back in the oven we go! Turn up to 350 degrees for another 6-8 minutes
  • Take them out and let them rest
  • Eat one over the sink before anyone else notices what you’ve done
