📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. 3
    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. 4
    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
  5. 5
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. 6
    Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.
  7. 7
    Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), scoop dough balls onto a plate. For best results, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  8. 8
    Place the chilled cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and set, but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
  9. 9
    Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

💡 Notes

For extra thick cookies, a minimum 30-minute chill time is highly recommended. To freeze cookie dough, scoop balls onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2-4 minutes to baking time. For perfect chocolate puddles, press a few extra chocolate chunks onto the top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
