Units Scale

1 cup unsalted butter
1 2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 2/3 cup all purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
With a mixer, cream the butter and sugars together.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until just incorporated.
Add the vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together.
Add to the wet ingredients, and mix until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll into 1/8 cup balls, and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 9-11 minutes — until the edges are set and peaks are beginning to turn golden.
Let cool on the baking sheet for two minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Notes

This dough can easily be refrigerated (or frozen!). If you're having issues with the dough spreading (which I don't anticipate, if you follow the recipe), try refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
