Best-Ever Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

(from the recipe of Anna Olson, Food Network Canada)

I'm not much of a fan of chocolate chip cookies, in fact I don't like them at all (not joking) ;)...but I know that my kids love them and so does my husband!!  They thought these were awesome!!

Ingredients:

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 

2 tsp. cornstarch 

1 tsp. baking soda 

1/2 tsp. salt 

1 c. bittersweet chocolate chips



(I forgot to include the chocolate chips in to this picture)

  Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.  In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (I used a regular hand mixer), cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light in color. Add egg and vanilla and blend in.

3.  Mix in flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chunks.

4.  Using a standard-sized cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto a prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges.  (The tops will not brown, but do NOT cook longer than ten minutes.)
