Ingredients

Scale

1 cup plus 2 TBSP unsalted butter
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the white granulated sugar and brown sugar. Incorporate the cooled brown butter and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Add the room temperature eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch before gradually adding it to the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in both semi-sweet and mini chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for optimal texture (optional).
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the sheets, spaced about two inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft. Enjoy warm from the oven!
