These chocolate chunk cookies are soft, and chewy. And, they are perfect tea time treats to satisfy your afternoon cravings. The secret to making these is to chill the cookies before baking.
Dry ingredients - In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. And set aside. Chop the chocolate bar into small chunks and set it aside.
Wet ingredients: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the soft butter with brown and white sugar at medium speed. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Dry to wet: Next, add the flour mixture and combine well. Add the chopped chocolate chunks and fold them into the dough with a spatula.
Chill: Cover the bowl and let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Oven: Preheat the oven to 356°F / 180°C/ Gas Mark 4. You can line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy clean-up.
Shape: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon and take about 2 tbsps of dough in your hand. Squish it into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, leaving enough space for them to spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. The outside will be lightly golden, but the center will still be slightly soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray. Then, transfer them to a wire rack. When just baked, they will look puffed, and they will wrinkle on top as they cool. You can sprinkle some more chocolate chunks and sea salt.
