The Best Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I love this cookie recipe, It's so simple and I can make the dough ahead of time, stick it in the refrigerator and it can stay in there for up to 3 days. I like to make it the night before and pull the dough out the next day and bake the cookies. The cookies are soft and chewy the chunks of chocolate tied in just make this cookie simply delicious. It's also another recipe of mine where you just need a large bowl and whisk. I am of fan of that because sometimes we just don't want to pull out the mixer and the mess that comes with it.

2 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 cups melted butter

3/4 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg plus 1 egg yolk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chocolate chunks

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, egg and egg yolk, and vanilla. Make sure its all combined and the batter is smooth. Now mix in the flour mixture it will resemble more of a dough, fold in the chocolate chunks and refrigerate overnight night it can stay in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to bake the cookies let the dough sit out for about 30 minutes until you start to bake. Roll the cookie into a ball about 2 tablespoons and I like to flatten mine down with a cup. Bake at 350 for 9 to 11 minutes, the key is to have nice soft cookies so not too brown.
