Cookies
One bowl, no mixer required, homemade chocolate chip cookies, made from start to finish in less than 30-minutes! No chilling of the dough required either (however I usually always chill my dough for at least an hour or overnight – personal preference for flavor and thicker cookies). This is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe you will need, because everyone needs that go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print Recipe
Serves: 20 Cooking Time: 9-12 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 1-1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used a mix of regular and mini sized chocolate chips)
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2
In a large bowl mix together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Stir in the egg yolks. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3
Use a standard sized cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough balls onto prepared cookie sheet. Leave a few inches between the dough balls. Bake cookies in 350-degrees for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired cookie doneness.
4
Let cookies set on cookie sheet for 5-minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
I have made these cookies using melted and cooled butter and room temperature butter. Both yielded similar results.

I love that you added cornstarch! That’s one of my favorite things to add to cookies to make them even more delicious :). Seriously, I’m drooling thinking about these. We really need to be neighbors so I can pop over for cookies any time!
