Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter melted and then cooled for at least 5 minutes

1 & 1/2 cups light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs room temperature

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup maple syrup

3 & 1/4 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups chocolate chips

---

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, stir together melted butter & sugars ***** You do not want your butter to be too hot or it may melt the sugar (very runny dough). Cut butter in to tbsp sized pieces, microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until it is completely melted & then allow to sit for 5 mins

2. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring until combined

3. Stir in vanilla extract and maple syrup

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda & salt

5. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients, stirring until completely combined

6. Stir in chocolate chips

7. Cover bowl with clear wrap (or reusable wraps) and allow to chill for at least 30 mins

8. While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350°F and prepare cookie sheets by either lining with parchment paper or using an un-greased cookie sheet

9. Scoop about 2-2 1/2 tbsp of cookie dough and roll in to balls, making them slightly taller than they are wide

10. Bake about 15 minutes (cookies will appear to be a bit underdone, but edges should be just beginning to turn golden brown)

11. Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet

12. Keep unbaked cookie dough in fridge while waiting to put the next batch in the oven, do not place cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet
