Ingredients

1 cup butter {cold & cut up into small cubes}
1 cup brown sugar {lightly packed}
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips {we love milk chocolate chips}

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 410°.
In the large bowl of your stand mixer {fitted with the paddle attachment}, combine the cold cubed butter and both sugars. Mix the ingredients on a medium speed for about 4 minutes or until creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time. Be sure to mix well after adding each one.
In a separate bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Whisk ingredients together and then add to the butter and sugar mixture all at once. Mix until just combined. NOTE: You do not want to over mix {this will heat up your butter}. Finally, add your chocolate chips to the cookie dough and mix until evenly distributed.
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a large ball. Place 4 balls of dough onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes {mine took 12 minutes} or until the top is golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Make sure the butter is cold and cut into cubes before adding it to the mixer with the sugar. The chill of the butter is what is going to help give you the thick cookie you are looking for.
Always use a stand mixer. This is a thick dough that requires a lot of mixing and heavy duty work.
Do not over mix the cookie dough after adding the dry ingredients. Doing so will warm up the butter and add air to the dough. Both of which will create a flatter cookie.
Do not over bake the cookies. Pull the cookies from the oven once they are golden brown and set. Then allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This step will help them set up perfectly.
If you prefer smaller cookies, use a medium cookie scoop and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.
