Melted Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Originally, I made these in 2014 with chocolate chunks. I just remade them now (2022) with chocolate chips and they were fabulous again! They don’t need a long chill time but definitely need to be cold to bake up perfectly. These are made with melted butter and cornstarch both which contribute to the wonderful texture.

Latest revelation-these are 100 times better with dark brown sugar instead of light brown!!! So chewy!!!

Melted Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ sticks salted butter, melted (yes, I like to use salted!)
- ¾ cup DARK brown sugar (so much better than light!!!!)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup chips (I used combo of semisweet and milk chocolates-can use more if you like)
Instructions
- Melt the butter and stir in sugars.
- Add egg, yolk and vanilla.
- Add all the dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips (they are tricky to stick) and chill till cold.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Weigh out 2 ounce mounds and bake 16-18 mins.
- Use a biscuit ring to swing them around when done for a perfectly round shape.

These are also fabulous stuffed with a homemade rainbow cookie. I only chilled the dough about an hour so it would be manageable for stuffing!
