Chocolate Chunk Cookies

My favorite baker, Sally, says this is the most downloaded recipe from her blog.  I can see why.  Delicious, easy to make, soft and chewy.  No mixer required!  But, you need a little extra time with these because they require chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours (up to 3 days).  You can also roll the chilled dough into balls and freeze (up to 3 months) to bake as desired (just add a minute to baking time).

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Directions:

In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch and salt, set aside.

In medium bowl, whisk melted butter and sugars together until no lumps remain.  Whisk in the egg then egg yolk and vanilla.  Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together.  Fold in chocolate chunks.  Cover dough and chill for at least 2 hours.

Take dough out of refrigerator and allow to soften for about 10 minutes.  Roll about 2-3 tbls of dough into balls.  Bake at 325 degrees for 11-12 minutes.
