- 1 cold stick of butter (1/2 cup)
- 6 TBSP of granulated sugar
- 6 TBSP brown sugar
- 1 egg

Other supplies needed:
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Two mixing bowls (one for dry ingredients and a larger one for wet ingredients)
- Electric handheld mixer
- Spoon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475°
- Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking
- In the smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, salt, and baking soda
- Cut stick of butter into smaller pieces (as seen in the video)
- In the larger mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract
- Gently stir the dry ingredients (flour, corn starch, salt, etc.) into the larger bowl with the butter/egg/sugar mixture (as seen in the video)
- Add in chocolate chips and optional walnuts. Mix gently until fully combined
- Using a full size spoon (tablespoon), make cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet
- Bake for 6-7 minutes or until the tops of the cookies get golden/brown (keep you eye on them:)
- Remove from the oven and let them cool (they’ll continue to cook on the inside while they cool)
- For the softest cookies, eat them when they are warm, not totally cooled
