Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt for 20 seconds. Set aside.
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heat in the microwave on high power until butter has melted halfway. Remove and whisk until fully melted.
Pour the melted butter into the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar, fit mixer with the paddle attachment, and blend mixture on medium speed until well combined. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
With the mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough out a slightly heaping ½ teaspoon at a time and drop onto plates or wax paper. Shape each into a ball, then if desired, press 3 to 4 more chocolate chips on top.
Align on two parchment paper or silicone baking mat lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart.
Bake in the oven for about 5 to 6 minutes. They should still fill soft and slightly under-baked.*
Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Serve and enjoy!
