- ½ cup brown sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla, then beat until smooth.
- Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides. Add the flour mixture and mix until smooth, starting on low speed and increasing to medium.
