Ingredient highlights
- Mini chocolate chips: Their small size helps distribute chocolate evenly throughout the cookies. Regular chocolate chips can be used if needed.
- Cornflour or cornstarch: Helps create a soft, tender texture and keeps the cookies chewy.
- Partially melted butter: Creates chewy cookies with rich flavour while keeping the dough easy to mix.
- Light brown sugar: Adds moisture and gives the cookies a soft texture and subtle caramel flavour.
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
