  • 150g (Ÿ cup) brown sugar
  • 100g (œ cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 200g (1 œ cups) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars – In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla – Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures – Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips – Gently fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute.
  7. Shape the Dough – Use a large cookie scoop to form dough balls and place them on the baking sheet, 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
  8. Bake – Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Cool and Frost (Optional) – Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. If using frosting, whip the ingredients together until smooth and spread over cooled cookies.

Notes

  • Chill the Dough: Refrigerating the dough for 30 minutes before baking enhances flavor and texture.
  • For Thicker Cookies: Stack two cookie dough balls on top of each other before baking.
  • For Extra Chewiness: Use more brown sugar than granulated sugar.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Flavor Variations: Add mix-ins like white chocolate chips, sprinkles, peanut butter, or crushed Oreos for different flavors.
