Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

I say it in the walk through recipe video (included below), so I’ll say it here too…this is another one of those personal preferences that my choco-holic hubby and I disagree on.

I like my fluffy, soft batch chocolate chip cookies much better than when I make his favorite chewy chocolate chip cookies.

So, since I am the one in the kitchen, we will have my best and favorite chocolate chip cookies. Yay, soft batch!

Our perfectly soft and fluffy chocolate chip cookies before baking, will appear as a slightly dry and crumbly cookie dough.

And did I mention how incredibly EASY these cookies are to make?

I know, most cookies are pretty easy.

But this is my one bowl method for cookies, and we are making these as drop cookies so there is no chill required.

Chocolate chip cookies shaped into dough balls before baking in the oven.

Without the need for refrigeration, you can move right into spooning out your portions of dough onto your baking sheets…

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract (or vanilla paste)
2 tsp corn starch
1 tsp baking soda
1 pinch salt (optional, if using unsalted butter use 1/2 tsp salt)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
8 oz chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks - milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark morsels)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper, or coat lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until well blended. Add the egg, vanilla extract, corn starch, baking soda, and salt (if needed). Mix thoroughly.
Add the flour and incorporate into the wet ingredients. Your cookie dough will appear dry and crumbly, but will come together when you roll out your cookie dough balls for baking.
Add the chocolate chips or chunks, then roll into balls a little over 1 inch round using tablespoonful amounts. Place on your baking sheet with 2 inches between cookies. *You can flatten your cookies out prior to baking, using your fingertips or the bottom of a glass, if desired. After baking, you can flatten the cookies slightly by pressing the centers with the back of a spoon (but they do settle a bit once cooled).
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12-15 minutes or until your cookies have just begun to take on a golden color around the bottom edges (do not over-bake!).
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
