These New York-style chocolate chip cookies are inspired by the iconic, bakery-style treats found in New York City. Known for their thick, chewy texture and generous chocolate chunks, these cookies are a delightful indulgence. The recipe incorporates cornstarch to enhance softness and a mix of baking soda and baking powder for the perfect rise.
2¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 bar of chocolate (cut into chunks)
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the cold butter until fluffy, about 3–4 minutes. Add both sugars and continue mixing until combined.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Add Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks.
Shape Dough: Scoop out the dough and roll into 5-ounce balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 1 hour; overnight chilling is ideal.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled dough balls for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
