Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and let it cool slightly.
  • Mix sugars and butter in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
  • Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt) in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly.
  • Scoop small dollops of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 1½ inches apart.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the edges are golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, increase brown sugar slightly and reduce granulated sugar.
  • If using regular chocolate chips, chop them into smaller pieces.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
