About the Recipe
Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Tip One: The small amount of cornstarch in this recipe helps create soft and tender cookies. If you can’t use or find cornstarch, you can omit it. The texture will just be slightly different.
Tip Two: If you have the time, allow the cookie dough to “marinade” for up to 72 hours in the fridge. Not only will this intensify the flavors, it’ll make the cookies thicker! Allow the dough to sit at room temperature until just warm enough to scoop.
Tip Three: Speaking of thick cookies, the colder the dough is when it enters the oven the thicker your cookies will be.
