Yield 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup butter (1-1/2 sticks,cut into cubes caution this amount will not change if you change the serving size)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup miniature chocolate chip
1 cup confectioners' sugar (for coating)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine flour, corn starch, and confectioners' sugar. Set aside.

  • Once mixture begins to get thick, increase speed to thoroughly mix until combined, scraping down sides.
  • Scrape batter from beaters, and mix in chocolate chips with a large spoon.
  • Refrigerate dough for 1 hour to firm up. (It's important that the dough be cold).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a good choice, but you can also use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference.
  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to create a smooth and creamy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
