Instructions

✓ Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

✓ In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, cornstarch, and baking soda. Set aside.

✓ In another bowl, cream the butter until it’s light and fluffy. Add in both sugars and mix well.

✓ Beat in the egg and yolk one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

✓ Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

✓ Stir in 2 cups of chocolate chips and chopped nuts (optional).

✓ Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave enough space between each for spreading.

✓ Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underdone.

✓ Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps achieve a thin yet chewy texture. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste.
