These tender extra soft chocolate chip cookies with cornstarch are chewy, melt-in-your-mouth treats perfect for any occasion. The secret ingredient cornstarch gives them an ultra-soft, tender texture that feels like a warm hug with every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons (about 1 1/2 tablespoons or 22 g per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look soft and slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best results. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft longer.
