The Best Chewy Café-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

These cookies are my most popular recipe ever, and for good reason. But I went ahead and messed with them anyway.

Yield: 20 cookies

INGREDIENTS

2 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt*
1 ½ sticks (6 oz) butter, melted and cooled
1 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed*
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips, plus more for topping*

NOTES
Take my advice about the test batch of 1 or 2 cookies. You can have the greatest cookie recipe in the whole world, but the time will vary depending on your oven! The key to perfect cookies is knowing how to adjust for your kitchen, as I mentioned in the post.

*The original version of this recipe called for 1/2 teaspoon of salt rather than 1 teaspoon, light brown sugar rather than dark, and baking at 325°F rather than 350. I’ve found that the results are better and more reliable in the updated version, but feel free to use the old recipe if you prefer.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the cooled melted butter and the sugars with a hand-mixer for about one minute. Then, add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
