Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies

🥄 Instructions

Step 1: The Sweet Beginning

Melt the butter (let it cool slightly).
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until glossy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 2: The Dry Side

In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet mixture. Stir just until combined — don’t overmix.

Step 3: The Good Stuff

Gently fold in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
Cover the bowl and chill for 30–60 minutes in the fridge. This deepens the flavor and helps make them thick and gooey.

Step 4: Oven Love

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out dough balls (~1.5 tablespoons each), place 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9–11 minutes — the edges should be golden, centers soft and puffy.

Step 5: Rest & Melt

Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
The chocolate should still be gooey… just like your heart after one bite 💞

🧪 Formation: Why They’re So Perfect

• Butter (melted) gives a chewy texture.
• Brown sugar adds moisture and depth of flavor.
• Cornstarch makes the cookie soft and tender.
• Chilling the dough keeps them thick and prevents spreading too much.
• Chocolate chips = melty love bombs in every bite.

📚 A Bite of History

The chocolate chip cookie was invented in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield, who owned the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped chocolate to cookie dough expecting it to melt — but it stayed gooey and soft. A delicious accident that changed dessert forever.

Today, the chocolate chip cookie is a global love language — one that speaks to kids, adults, dreamers, and bakers alike.
