But what is that secret ingredient? An ingredient that bakes the thickest and the softest choc-chip cookies I am bragging about!

C-O-R-N-S-T-A-R-C-H!

Now I know what you are thinking! What's so new about this fact. Moreover every other chocolate chip cookie that claims to be thick uses it!

It's the amount, my friends! The amount of cornstarch that you use is directly proportional to the rise and softness in your cookie.

I used as much as I COULD get away with! And I most certainly made my thickest cookie dreams come true.

Best soft small batch chocolate chip cookie recipe with chocolate chips and chocolate chunks is so thick and chewy all the way!

Lets get right into some more tips to bake the chocolate chip cookies for your dreams. In a small batch form of-course!

Tips to make your small batch chocolate chip cookies the thickest and the softest!

  • First of all, don't over work your dough and also don't press it too hard.
  • Secondly, chill that dough. Chilled Dough=Guaranteed Thickness!
  • Above all, bake them as huge cookies. One cookie= almost 2.5 tablespoon of dough. As a result they will stay soft even 3 days after you bake them.

  • Don't skimp on the amount of cornstarch used.

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes

Resting Time: 1 hour hour
Total Time: 20 minutes minutes
Servings 5 Cookies
Calories: 265kcal
Author: Neha

Ingredients

  • ¼ Cup Unsalted butter (Softened to room temperature)
  • ¼ Cup (50 gms) Brown sugar (packed)
  • 4 teaspoon (16 gms) Granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ Cup (83 gms) All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda (heaping)
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅓ Cup Semi sweet/milk chocolate chips
  • ⅓ Cup Dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  • 1. Beat softened butter in a medium bowl, using a hand held mixer for about a minute (on medium speed).
    2. Add both the sugars and beat until light, fluffy and pale in color. Now beat in egg and vanilla.
    3. Sift flour, baking soda and salt over these wet ingredients and slowly mix on low just until the flour disappears.
    4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks. Cover the dough tightly using a foil/wrap and chill it for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 2 days.
    5. Take the dough out of refrigerator and preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper/silicon mat.
    6. Chilled dough can be slightly crumbly but it comes together at ease as you roll them into balls with your hands. Divide the dough into 5 balls and roll them on the taller side rather than a perfect round.
    7. Bake for 12-15 minutes. The cookies will still appear very soft. Take them out and allow to cool on the sheet for 5-7 minutes. At this time you can also press a few chocolate chips/chunks on top for added look!
    8. Transfer on a wire rack to cool further.

Notes

  1. Cookies stay fresh at room temperature (covered tightly) and in the freezer for up to 2 months. Believe me, you'd never want to freeze them anyway!
  2. Unbaked cookie mounds can also be frozen for 3 months. When baking, add an extra minute, no need to thaw.
  3. If chilling the cookie dough for 2-3 days, allow to come to room temperature slightly before rolling them. The dough gets easier to handle this way.

    All of your chocolate chip cookies look amazing but I'm really confused when it comes to the eggs in the recipe. How in the world do you measure 4 tsp of eggs? I found this recipe after I clicked on your giant chocolate chip cookies that only makes 5 cookies and that recipe called for 1/2 an egg. Again my mouth is watering at the pictures and I would love to make these so please help me understand.

      Thanks Debbie! To measure egg, for all my small batch cookies recipes and even giant cookies, all I do is break an egg, whisk it lightly and then measure the required amount out of it using a tsp/tbsp. Half of a large egg would be 2 Table spoons. You can even double the recipe and make 10 cookies out of it, if you don't mind baking a bigger batch. Hope it helps. 🙂

    Chocolate chip cookies are my absolute weakness!! I am definitely saving this recipe for later! I honestly never use cornstarch in my recipes, but I may just have to if I can achieve cookies even half this good-looking!

    I'm on a baking kick these days. I just tried the Tasty/Buzzfeed best chocolate chip recipe and the cookies were amazing. Can't wait to try this one as well. I really like the mix of dark and semisweet chocolate.
