Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Stir the melted, cooled butter and both sugars together very well in a large bowl.
  2. Add the egg, the egg yolk and the vanilla, and stir well.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until all the flour is absorbed.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop rounded 1 1/2 tablespoon (47 g) portions of dough onto the sheets, at least 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake at 350 °F (177 °C) for 11 minutes. The centres may still look slightly soft; they finish cooking on the sheet. Do not overbake.
  10. If you like, press extra chocolate chips into the warm tops and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  11. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheets.
