Instructions

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the sugars and butter on medium-high speed until light and paler in color, about 2-3 minutes. You may need to scrape down the bowl after a minute and keep beating to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Add in the vanilla and egg yolks and beat until fully combined.

Then, add in the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined.

Lastly, fold in the chocolate.

With a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, place 12 balls of cookie dough on one baking sheet, top each with more chopped chocolate, and freeze for 15 minutes.

While the dough is in the freezer, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the cookie dough 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15-16 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Brown the unsalted butter before creaming to develop rich, nutty flavors that elevate the cookie's depth and create better browning on the edges.
Use Egg Yolks Only for Richness 🥚
Egg yolks contain more fat and lecithin than whole eggs, creating superior chewiness and richness while the absence of egg whites prevents over-spreading and ensures dense centers.
Cornstarch is Your Secret Weapon ✨
The cornstarch reduces gluten development by competing with flour for water absorption, which directly prevents over-spreading and guarantees that signature chewy texture throughout baking.
Chill Dough for Optimal Structure 🧊
Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes to allow flour hydration and fat solidification, which prevents excessive spreading and creates crispy edges while maintaining chewy centers.
Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫
Lightly toast dark or semisweet chocolate chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to dough to intensify chocolate flavor and create deeper pools of melted chocolate throughout.
