Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and sea salt.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

6. Fold in Mix-ins: Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

7. Shape Cookies: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake: Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should remain soft.

9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
