Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy in the center, golden on the edges, and packed with melty chocolate chips + crunchy walnuts. The perfect cookie!

📋 Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup packed light brown sugar

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

• ½ cup walnut pieces

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Oven – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter & Sugars – In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

3. Add Wet Ingredients – Mix in egg and vanilla until fully combined.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine – Slowly add dry ingredients into wet, mixing until just combined (don’t overmix).

6. Fold In – Stir in chocolate chips and walnut pieces.

7. Scoop & Shape – Drop dough balls (about 2 tbsp each) onto baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

8. Bake – Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers still look soft.

9. Cool – Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

✨ Tips for Extra Gooey Cookies

• Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.

• Press a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.

• Slightly underbake (by 1 minute) if you love gooey centers.
