How to Make Game-Changing Cookies
Ingredients :
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (or chunks)
- ½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Directions :
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Step 4: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until smooth and combined.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6: Gently fold in the chocolate chips (or chunks) and nuts (if using). The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
Step 7: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Step 9: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Store Game-Changing Cookies
To keep these cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to place layers of parchment paper between cookies to avoid sticking.
Tips to Make Game-Changing Cookies
- Make sure your butter is softened, but not melted, for the best texture.
- Measure your flour correctly; too much flour can lead to dry cookies.
- Don’t skip the cornstarch; it helps create that perfect chewy texture.
- For an extra flavor boost, you can add a pinch of cinnamon.
Variation (If Any)
If you want to switch things up, consider adding nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or white chocolate.
