Ingredients

Base Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix-ins (Choose Your Favorite Flavor)

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup macadamia nuts
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats and 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 3/4 cup chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup raspberry bits and 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough
    Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
    In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and white sugar with the melted butter. Mix until smooth.
    Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
    Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
  • Fold in Mix-ins
    Choose your favorite mix-in combination and fold it into the dough.
  • Chill the Dough
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (overnight for best results).
  • Bake the Cookies
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Scoop dough into 2-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the sheet.
    Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are golden but the center is slightly underbaked.
  • Cool and Enjoy
    Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, chill the dough overnight.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
  • Freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and bake when needed.
