I am always on the lookout for the perfect chocolate chip cookie.  Who isn’t, Right?  Although I have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have used for years, this is a great Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.

Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

 These cookies are so fluffy and delicious!  The only change that I have made is that I use 1 tsp of cornstarch instead of 2 tsp.  But, that is just my preference.  The original recipe is absolutely wonderful as is.

These cookies from Apple A Day are described as the Best-Ever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, thanks to a ‘secret ingredient’.  Well, that caught my attention so I gave them a try and was not disappointed!

Ingredients Needed For Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies (screenshot for grocery list)

  • 3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 c. all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips

How To Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2.   In the large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla, mix.
  3.   Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.
  4.   Using a standard-sized cookie scoop, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are barely golden brown.
  5.   Let cool, on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

      Funny that my ‘lazy’ post still takes a couple of hours to do if you account for photos, editing and writing the post. I think I may just be super slow 😛

    I was excited to make cookies today for my 2 sick boys, but was disappointed with the final product. The cookies did not come out as pictured above. They came out looking like the ones on the recipe link page. I will say they are light in color and fluffy like others posted. Guess I was looking for a more chewy cookie like the picture above looks like. Thanks and I’ll still keep checking out posts.

      Aww man, I’m sorry to hear these cookies were a bit of a disappointment. The only change I made to the original recipe was to decrease the corn starch from 2 teaspoons to 1 teaspoon. I too enjoy a light yet chewy cookie. I’m wondering if you noticed the reference I made to the recipe change. If not, maybe I should post the entire recipe directly on my site with the noted changes. Thanks for your feedback 🙂

    Just made these cookies, and they are fluffy and chewy! They do taste like dough/flour. Other than that they are really good and they are quick and easy to make!

    I made these and they can out just as name “soft” however they tasted flour-y and a bit bland. I made these exactly as written above so I can’t figure out why this happened. Any advise ladies(or guys)?

      Maybe you just need a little more flavor. I have heard that adding almond extract to cookie dough gives it a nice flavor. Just a thought 🙂
