Gooey chocolate chip cookies

Tomorrow is Covac century with the guys and I decided to make some treats for after the ride. Last year was a lot of fun and we averaged over 21mph. I did some googling and saw lots of different recipes for gooey chocolate chip cookie. This is my own variation based on several that I saw.

Ingredients
1 1/2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups King Arthur all purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Before you start mixing the ingredients, preheat your oven at 375.

1. 30 minutes before you're gonna bake, take out the butter and let it get to room temperature

2. Using a spoon or spatula cream the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until well mixed.

3. add egg and vanilla and mix for 2-3 minutes

4. add flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and mix

5. when the flour is thoroughly mixed, add the chocolate chips and fold. I prefer dark chocolate chips, since it has less sugar. Use what ever chocolate you like most.

6. line your baking sheet with parchment paper

7. make golf ball size ball of dough and press it lightly on the baking sheet. You want the cookies to be thick, so they stay soft

8. bake for 10 minutes. You want the bottom edge to be brown, but the top should be white.

When they're done, remove them to a cooking rack and let them rest for 15 minutes before eating. Get yourself a glass of milk or lactaid to go with the cookies.
