Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside.

3. 3

   In a large mixer bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and sugar at medium speed for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and light in color.

4. 4

   Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

5. 5

   Slowly incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—avoid overmixing.

6. 6

   Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a silicone spatula, ensuring everything is mixed evenly to create a uniform cookie dough.
