Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
 
Here’s what you need:
2 sticks salted butter, melted1 cup packed brown sugar (or make your own- listen for instructions)1 cup granulated sugar1 egg2 teaspoons vanilla extract3 teaspoons water2 1/2 cups all purpose flour1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch 6 ounces of chocolate- cut up bars or chips (but bars are better)
 
Here’s what you do:
Melt the butter over a low heat- do not brown (unless you feel like it- it’s your cookie)
While that's going, blend sugars together in a large bowl
Pour the butter over the sugars and blend until lighter in color
Add egg, vanilla- mix another minute or 2
Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt,and cornstarch over the mixture- mix in gingerly using a large spoon or spatula
When most of the flour is incorporated, add the chocolate and mix it bae
Portion cookies out, a little bigger than usual, and let them sit in the fridge for 10 minutes
Space the cookies out, so you don't end up with a giant cookie…although…
Bake at 325 degrees for 6 mins
Take the pan out and bang it on a flat surface
Add a generous sprinkle of fancy salt (or kosher if that’s what you got)
Back in the oven we go! Turn up to 350 degrees for another 6-8 minutes
Take them out and let them rest
Eat one over the sink before anyone else notices what you’ve done
